Approval issue created: CONTRIB-9216

Very useful plugin. However, I would not do it using a modal but rather, live in a two-column layout of the editor. User will press a button to enable/disable preview. This will switch one/two column layout with live preview in the right(left?) container (according with HTML dir attribute).

Great plugin concept and very much needed as we use a lot of filter and a wysiwyg view is very much needed.

I kind of agree with the previous comment about the modal, I feel the same about the view, which is also a modal. It would be better if both were overlays at the size of the editor, or fullscreen if in fullscreen mode. This is partly because that's what we arte used to form Atto, and partly just to maximise screen real-estate.

Will aim to raise git issues when I have time.

Thanks for putting this together Daniel.

Thanks Neil and Adrian for the feedback. There is a potential performance problem with the updating in real time. The filters have to be run on the server rather than the client which may cause a problem if a large number of people are editing at once.

Hi, this is a great plugin! We are looking for similar plugin for plaintext editor ->markdown format. Do you know about something similar or are you planning to make one? Thanks for the reply? Anyway, great work on this one!

Veronika, a similar plugin which provides a preview when using markdown format is Marklar, https://moodle.org/plugins/editor_marklar It's installed on moodle.org - you can try it out by setting Marklar as your text editor in your editor preferences.
