Help:Extension:WikiEditor/Realtime Preview/en

Realtime Preview is a feature within WikiEditor that allows you to preview your changes in realtime as you are typing. It was created by the Wikimedia Foundation's Community Tech team in response to the #4 wish in the 2021 Community Wishlist Survey.

Usage
First make sure you have WikiEditor enabled. In your Special:Preferences, look for the "" preference. Note that Realtime Preview is not compatible with the.

Begin an edit. Notice that in the toolbar, you will see a "" button. Clicking this will activate Realtime Preview. Once activated, a preview pane is shown next to the editor. It will update anytime you stop typing. You can also hover over the preview area and click on the "" button to manually reload changes, or use the "" access key.

Limitations

 * Absolutely positioned elements are shown relative to the preview area and not the entire page. If you need to test what your changes look like for the entire page, use the normal "" button. (T310064)
 * When using both Realtime Preview and the normal preview, some user interaction requiring JavaScript might apply to only one preview area and not the other, such as the "show" and "hide" links on collapsible content. (T307475)
 * If your browser window is too narrow, the feature is automatically disabled and you will have to use the normal "" button to preview your changes.
