I tried to look around but I don’t seem to find a conclusion on this topic about a rich editor.

I’m new to Discourse. It is almost perfect except I want an editor that’s as good as the Gmail composer. Any kind pointer is much appreciated.

Search for things like “rich editor” and [“wysiwyg”](https://meta.discourse.org/search?q=wysiwyg) and you’ll find a lot of the old discussions covering this subject. In short, it is a seemingly simple problem that is incredibly difficult to execute in practice. It is for good reason that most popular social networks pretty much stick to plain text.

That said, “enhanced plain text” is something I’d love to experiment with, pretty much on the same level of Facebook, i.e. [rendering oneboxes and images in-editor](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-create-new-topic-user-experience-on-mobile/53632/17).

Hi, +1 for any simple WYSIWYG editor (!) see “the need!”, justifications for the project at similar cases as [Wikipedia/VisualEditor](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor).

Suggestion to use good and modular one… [GitHub - substance/substance: A JavaScript library for web-based content editing. · GitHub](https://github.com/substance/substance)

I’m thinking this link needs to be more widely publicized.

Maybe try this plugin by @Steven ?

Discourse теперь предлагает экспериментальный WYSIWYG-редактор 🎊

> We have been working on a new rich text editor mode for our composer so that it’s easier to write on Discourse. We’re now ready to start testing it out to get more feedback from our community on this feature! Our implementation builds upon the excellent [ProseMirror](https://prosemirror.net/) and its non-core [Markdown module](https://github.com/ProseMirror/prosemirror-markdown), using the module’s schema, parsing, and serialization definitions as the base for further Discourse-specific features.
