    Hi!

    suggestion: Would it be allowed similar rich text editing in forum view? At least inserting any hyperlink.

    Thanks, for considering

    Inserting hyperlinks into forum posts is already possible as you can see for example here and here. But it requires using HTML code, so it is not very convenient.

    And text formatting is possible too by using HTML code. Of course, rich text editing similar to the way it can be done within sticky notes would be better.

    Hi Maggie!

    I was not too exact in this post.

    I meant, as ollitolli said above - allowing the reach text editing in adding a new forum post or replying to a forum post would be easier and better!

    Would it be solved somehow?

    We really should become accustomed to replace old fashioned forums by annotations.
    The time of only "Wow, cool" annotations is hopefully soon over.

    @ iplnts

    Would you like to chime in under http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/forum/topic/kupu-fckeditor-tinymce-8503 ?

    @ Diigo developers

    Focusing on the original topic, unabridged:

    > Allowing minimal html in the forum text

    I realise that there may be a requirement to _not_ make forum front end GUI and back end services too heavyweight.

    For users who prefer plain text composition, a preference and related cookie could please.

    I like having HTML as an option, and would hate to see it go - a lot. I hope you're not suggesting that.

    @The Ravine / Joseph Dunphy: No, I was not suggesting that. What I was trying to say was that an easier way to use text formatting in forum posts would be convenient. Good HTML editors for example have an HTML code mode for more advanced HTML code creation, editing and fine-tuning plus a WYSIWYG mode for quick editing and previewing.

    How about textile or wiki markup?

    Re: the original subject,
    Allowing minimal html in the forum text
    this topic is resolved partly resolved:

    * a fair amount of HTML is allowed.

    > textile or wiki markup?

    I'm most familiar with markup for Trac, but I wouldn't expect other people to learn that markup.

    I find other markups difficult to remember.

    I'd be happy with WYSIWYM (example) but I recognise that some others will treat the WMD example as geeky.

    I suspect that the most user-friendly, for the masses - and the best fit wherever space is at a premium - will be WYSIWYG, and re http://groups.diigo.com/group/Diigo_HQ/content/553553#9 I should recommend:

    * TinyMCE

    - with a minimal toolbar, to include:

    * link
    * bold
    * italic
    * strikethrough

    … shall we continue in the other topic, where the pros and cons of different editors are considered?

    Thanks
    Graham
