= what you see is what you get, isn't it? =

As easy as it is for some people, for others editing text in wiki syntax is an entrance barrier for using wikis. Therefor it should be also possible to edit texts like you see them afterwards in a "what you see is what you get" manner. Editors include:
 * [http://fckeditor.net/ fckeditor], used in [http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de moinmoin].
 * [http://wikiwyg.net/ wikiwyg], used in [http://kwiki.org/ kwiki].
 * [http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/ tinymce], as used in a [http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/TinyMceWikiPlugin trac plugin], but it does not write trac wiki syntax.

= wikiwyg integration =

the integration could be done the following way:
 * provide a mechanism to identify the wiki text in <div> areas. currently a name or id seems to be missing.
 * include a template into every page which loads the library if it is installed.
 * extend the wikiwyg library by a trac class (a single js file).
 * copy the wikiwyg library somewhere, it consists of:
   * js
   * css
   * images
   * a htc file (html component) to make it also work in iexplore, not just in gecko
 
If somebody could describe a little clearer how to make a plugin, it would be great.

See #1682 for a sketch of the implementation.
