Extension:WYSIWYG

This extension enables a more intuitive WYSIWYG editor when editing pages on a MediaWiki-based site. It uses a special version of the FCKeditor that outputs wiki text rather than the usual HTML that caused problems for MediaWiki integrations in the past. When the extension is installed, there's an additional tab 'wysiwyg' in the command bar on top of every page which leads directly in the wysiwyg editing mode.

Features of the WYSIWYG extension
The WYSIWYG extension supports:


 * importing / insertion of tables, images, formatting stuff like enumerations, font style etc. as well as links
 * real copy and paste without postprocessing
 * working with the known Word-like toolbar arrangement
 * using special characters
 * real time spell-checking with recommender function
 * undo/redo and find and replace functionality

See the following link for a working example of the FCKeditor in action: Example. The extension is being jointly developed by the FCKeditor authors and Wikia.
