ProseMirror As An Editor (And More) For Your Wiki May Be Coming Soon

14/08/2015 by Wouter

It seems the debate about in-browser editors is ongoing, in a good and serious way. Dave wrote about it again, in “There’s a content-editable community“. He points, amongst other things, to an Indiegogo project called ‘ProseMirror‘. I have only read the project description, not the code; it seems to me that it is part editing tool, part content representation. That makes it similar to Dave’s OPML Editor, and both will allow you to represent the content as you like, depending on the transformation you apply to the content. That’s a good approach, in my view, because it makes the tool very flexible.

Of course, ProseMirror could be the editing environment for a Wiki! Storing Wiki-content in a format that is not dependent on a representation such as HTML is the basis for re-use of that content in as many forms as you need/want. I hope Marijn Haverbeke reaches his goal, and then we’ll see if someone picks up ProseMirror as the basis for a Wiki, a blogging tool, etc. From what I remember of the JSPWiki implementation, it should be relatively easy to whip up a ProseMirror “storage provider”  for JSPWiki that does exactly that: use the ProseMirror content format as the corner stone of a Wiki. Any takers?

PS. If the Indiegogo project should disappear, then you’ll also find more details on prosemirror.net…
