<pre wrap="">Even if I think a WYSIWYG editor could help, I (and problably many here

they generally convert to a bad and messy HTML, which make it difficult

Rednotebook is using a trick I like the most: it's mixing the wiki
syntax (it remains educational for people so they can slowly learn the
code) with a wysiwyg-like display, so people understand better the code:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://rednotebook.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html">http://rednotebook.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html</a>
The wiki code is even greyed so it won't interfere too much with the
display, yet it remains visible.
It would be really useful for web forms, but I don't know how it can be
possible to implement this kind of display as an option.
