Textile vs. Markdown vs. TinyMCE etc
We've been debating for some time what the best way is to handle markup in an upcoming hosting CMS we're developing in Ruby on Rails (more on that to come!).
I've put together a little survey to see what people's preference is when it comes to manipulating text in a content-management system.
“I've used markup languages for years. They are fast once you catch on. However, I've used TinyMCE before and it's a great editor. The idea of using WYSIWYG is going to turn off a few old timers, but you'll get far more people to use the WYSIWYG.”
“I've decided to publish the results of this survey as people might find it interesting to check it out as it progresses. Take a look: http://luciddesign.co.nz/2009/2/17/building-a-picture-of-preferred-markup-the-results-of-the-little-markup-survey”
