I agree that the GUI editor of DokuWiki is a very handy feature. However, it might be even better to integrate a true WYSIWYG Editor for editing page content. I know this goes against the backbone of the Wiki concept, however, the absence of such an editor does create a threshold for non-technical people getting exposed to this wonderful technology. There are integrations of FCKEditor for MediaWiki and for MoinMoin which is the main reason I am actually considering deploying those on our intranet. Outside of that, I do like DokuWiki better. Any chance that FCKEditor could be integrated with it?
Agreed - I used DW with a small group of wiki novices, and whilst it didn't take too long for people to get used to using it, the formatting wasn't intuitive for Word users (even with the DW toolbar). A trimmed down version of FCKeditor would be pretty good. There's a feature request filed as bug 535 for this, as of Sept 10 2005 — Ben 2005-10-03 21:53
Also, check out the FCKEditor Wiki, currently powered by MoinMoin. Of course, you can edit pages at the FCKEditor Wiki with FCKEditor! — Ivaylo, 2005-10-04 16:05
Can anyone answer the question in the first par of this topic? Now we use DokuWiki and we are looking for a wysiwyg wiki. So if DokoWiki has plans to integrate the FCKeditor we can stick to DokuWiki. -Ijo, 2005-11-02 10:39
A short tutorial to use FCK into Dokuwiki, instead of the default wiki syntax editor: http://apassant.net/blog/2006/06/25/96-integrate-fckeditor-in-dokuwiki – Alex, 2006-06-27
Personally I rather dislike the thought of the way Wiki's tend to integrate with these applications. The HTML is served to the WYSIWYG editor (e.g. FCK) which you edit, is sent back to the server and converted back to wiki-syntax for the page update. To be integrated into such a focused project as DokuWiki, it should really be done without this horrible hack which many wiki's seem to employ. We need a WYSIWYG editor with pluggable syntax.
How about wikiwyg? That WYSIWYG editor directly generates wiki code! Anyone knows if it would be possible to integrate that in dokuwiki? -LG, 20051121
I am looking to intergrate a wiki on our corporate intranet, to handle a lot of quality documents. Without WYSIWYG the project will certainly fail, due to the general lack of IT skills in our company. Any plans to incorporate or develop a WYSIWYG for dokuwiki? -SG, 20051219
After a discussion on the mailinglist some people started to work on the integration of WikiWyg into DokuWiki. The status of this work is dokumented in wikiwyg — Konrad Bauckmeier 2005-12-19
Played with the demo of WikiWyg and this looks like a great solution - looking forward to this appearing in DW! — Ben 2005-12-19
Wikiwyg is the only gui-related idea that makes me feel good about wysiwyg-editing in wikis. FCK and the like would be a step backwards imho, so this is a good call. Lets hope you gather enough momentum on this for it to become integrated tightly with the main codebase! jib 2006-01-06
Any progress on this, or did it die out? pauly 2007-02-07
I agree the a simple WYSWYG-Editor would be a niche thing. However I really disagree with the FckEditor cause its to fat and doenst fit in such a tiny and smart application like dokuwiki. Wikiwyg seems to be the right way. Although it needs some customizing for best fit with dokuwiki. How is the status quo about that?

MoinMoin WYSIWYG editor
It would be nice to have an edito like moin moin:
Try the sandbox here:

Sorry about mention another wiki here :( But it is really a great WYSIWYG editor, the best I found in all ree wikis.
It seems that moinmoin uses this editor:
