What do you think about the creation of a standalone text editor for the wikidot syntax? 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?

What would the point be? You can't upload page files, so it wouldn't help.

The point - easier edition. 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.

This is a classy idea. 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…

I recently noticed that my editor of choice - TreeDBNotes (a promising candidate for a successor to Tranglos Keynote) has a "syntax highlighter" plug-in. 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'm not a fan of coding. 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?
