I have actually spent a lot of time looking for a solution for this. Stackoverflow is my last resort. Before I dive in I would like to describe my requirements.
My requirements,
I need an editor like slack that automatically converts markdown to relevant TextStyle or html. For example if I type, ## Hello and press enter. it is styled as H2 styled text.
Moreover, I also need to show a dropdown whenever I press # or # to select from a list of options.
In short, I need something like quip, slite or medium.
I was hoping that this will be easy in flutter, given half of these features are already there in Google's Gmail and other apps by google by havent yet found a single library that meets these requirements.
What I have already tried?
Quil: I found out by flutter_quill but for that I have to stick to a toolbar on the top. And no mentions support.
Zefyr and html_editor: I have tried these, but they are very buggy and slow. Moreover, they have very limited documentations.
Custom Flutter: Medium-like Text Editor. This is the most promising solution but it is lacking one essential feature of text editor. The article proposes that I divide the entire input field into multiple text fields which I can control using state. But this has one big problem that is, what if I want to select the entire body of text. Any hacks on this will be well appreciated.
If you have any questions and if the question isn't clear enough, please free to comment down below.

I'd like to minimize the number of times I have to type dates and version numbers across release notes pages and such on Confluence.
How can I reuse a text string within the same page as well as across pages on Confluence?
Right now, I have a bit of text (for example, a version number) which is typed out in multiple locations:
Page A
Top of page
Middle of page
End of page
Page B
I'd like to be able to type the value once and have it automatically appear in all places.
There are multiple bits of text I'd like to do this with on one page.
The closest I've found so far is the MultiExcerpt macro, but unfortunately it displays all content with newline wrapping instead of inline and that's a dealbreaker for me.
You may want to look into Comala Metadata, sounds like what you are looking for.
Disclaimer, I work in the company behind that app, in Comalatech.

Have you tried using Confluence own Include Macro or the Excerpt Macro. The include macro can be inline if you keep it on the same line in the editor.
There is an official extension called Multi Excerpt. It works like Excerpt, but you can use more then one for one page.
Is there a good way to implement Rich Text using the existing CCLabel class or another class? I'ma ttempting to render something like the image below
I wasn't able to find any information in the guides on rich text, the wiki entry on CCLabel doesn't mention anything about it, and the documentation doesn't seem to indicate support of rich text. I also didn't find anything searching on these forums for "rich text".
My main problem with concatenating multiple CCLabels together is it makes the word wrapping a challenge. I'm sure if that's the only way to implement this in CocosSharp I can figure it out, but it'd be much nicer to use any built-in support for rich text if it exists.
I know cocos2d-x has support for rich text through their UIRichText class. Does anything like that exist in CocosSharp? Is there a different term I should be searching for, or is there support somewhere in there that I just missed?
I get the following errors from the Google Rich Snippet Tool for my website http://iancrowther.co.uk/
hcard
Warning: This information will not appear as a rich snippet in search results results, because it seems to describe an organization. Google does not currently display organization information in rich snippets
Warning: At least one field must be set for Hcard.
Warning: Missing required field "name (fn)".
Im experimenting with vcard and Schema.org and am wondering if I'm missing something or the validator is playing up. I have added vcard and Schema.org markup to the body which may be causing confusion. Also, I am making the assumption I can use both methods to markup my code.
Update:
I guess with the body tag, I'm just trying to let Google discover the elements which make up the schema object within the page. I'm not sure if this is a good / bad way to approach things? However it lets my markup be free of specific blocks of markup. I guess this is open to discussion but I like the idea of having a natural flow to the content that's decorated in the background. Do you think there is any negative impact? I'm undecided.
I am in favour of the Person structure, this was a good call as this is more representative of the current site content. I am a freelance developer and as such use this page as my Organisation landing page, so I guess I have to make a stronger decision of the sites goals and tailor the content accordingly, ie Organisation or Person.
I understand that there is no immediate rich snippet gains, but im a web guy so have a keen interest in these kind of things.
With schema testing, I find it easiest to start from the most obvious problem, and try to work our way deeper from there. Note, I have zero experience with hcard, but I don't believe the error you mentioned actually has anything to do with your hcard properties.
The most obvious problem I see, is that your body tag has an itemtype of schema.org\Organization. When you set an itemtype on a dom element, you are saying that everything inside of that element is going to help describe that itemtype. Since you've placed this on your body element, you are quite literally telling Google that your entire page is about an organization.
From the content of your page, I would recommend changing that itemtype to schema.org\Person. This would seem to be a more accurate description. Once you make that change and run the scanner again, you may see more errors relating to the schema and we can work through those too (for example, you'll probably need to set familname and givenName).
With all of that said, you should know that currently there are no rich snippets that you will gain from adding this schema data. Properly setting this up on your page, is only good to do, especially since we don't know what rich snippets Google or others will expose in the future, but currently you won't see any additional rich snippets in Google search results from adding these tags. I don't want to discourage you from setting this up properly but I just want to set your expectations.
I am thinking of converting my forum input textarea exclusively to TinyMCE HTML editor. I already have both options but it is a pain maintaining both and inserting images in textarea needs preview etc...
This is more of a general question. Do you think it is safe to include HTML editor (with all the safety measures like paste only text, filter for html not allowed etc...) as the only kind of editor on a forum? It's 2011 and machines are generally fast, connection are better.
What are the downsides of using HTMl editor instead of text field? I can not imagine a blog CMS to have "normal" textarea for input.
But for some reason on forums I do not see many html editors... Even the TinyMCE site has a textarea for their editor. So is there really something to watch out for and a no go...?
I know it is more of a phylosophical question, but I guess you have experience with forums, blogs, etc...
My site is about cooking and beeing able to insert pictures (and upload them) the easy way seems to be a big plus for our home cooks ;-)
If you don't consider security (you'll need to filter the HTML input on the server side so it won't contain anything dangerous), there's only the user experience left for consideration. On a forum you write text most of the time. There's seldom any use for more functionality than bold, italics and images. The solution used here on Stack Overflow addresses this by having a very limited set of functions, and applying it in the textarea with a sane markup language.
Other forums either use old software or didn't think the improved user experience was worth the effort. The textarea-only solution fits most forums well enough since most of the input is text-only anyway.
I do think you would benefit from HTML input. Make sure that only allowed HTML can be sent though, since the user can circumvent everything on the client side.
TinyMCE uses Javascript to add functionality to an existing textarea. If Javascript is disabled, then the user will be presented with a normal textarea anyway.
I would say it's relatively safe, as long as all input from the user is validated on the server before it's used for anything.
i am building a webapp that will have notes fields all over the place, but i dont know what kind of markup i should use.
these are my requirements
User must be able to change the text style (bold, italic, underlined)
User must be able to create bullet lists
User must be able to create numbered lists
User must be able to change the font-size or use pre-definded headings
User must be able to add links
User must have a WYSIWYG - Editor that hides the actual markup
the last one is the most important requirement, my target users struggle even with word, so using markup style input like here on stackoverflow is not an option.
so what kind`s of markup do you know that fits ans has some fancy WYSIWYG - Editor?
if you think that i missed a important requirement please feel free to suggest it.

You'll need to check out tinyMCE.
It's the best javascript-based WYSIWYG editor I've found.
