But I have no expertise to do anything with it. I took a glance at EmEditor, it looks nice, too. I hope the Wikidot team embrace the idea and incorporate the Wikidot syntax into one of those beautiful editors.

I wonder if I can do such a thing for my preferred text editor, EmEditor? It already does convenient highlighting and such for a bunch of languages (html, c++ etc) and I have the feeling you can add more if you know what you're doing…

So I would prefer a converter that converts, say, MS-word formatting into wikidot formatting. That would enable us to create pages in MS-word, convert it into wikidot formatting, and copy it directly into our wiki.
Is such things possible?

It is much easier to make a table, having each "row" and "cell" syntax element highlighted in colour. Furthermore you would always have a backup copy of the page syntax.

As for uploading page files - simply copy&paste does the job.

Actually I produce my wikidot pages in an external text editor (KeyNote) which automatically saves what I am doing. If electricity suddenly stops I would have all my work so far, saved. The same would not be true for editing directly on the site. The only shortcoming I experience is that KeyNote doesn't recognize the syntax elements and cannot highlight them in different colours.

You can't upload page files, so it wouldn't help.

It would have convenient features such as colouring the different syntax elements, automatic saves, etc, just like any good html text editor. I guess it would not be hard to create, especially on the basis of some good open-source applications of that kind. What do you think?
