    Description

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      The current WYSIWYG editor in Confluence can screw up pages, that make use of more advanced WikiText formatting. I think this is because the editor makes use of the HTML editing capability of current browsers. Because WikiText has more 'capabilities' than HTML (especially with all the advanced macros), I think it cannot always be correctly converted to HTML, without loosing information.

      Wouldn't it be better to stop depending upon the HTML editing capability of browsers and instead build a specialized WikiText WYSIWYG editor? Building such editor in Flash technology could be a viable option, though you could probably also build a specialized editor with JavaScript and the DOM.
