Description

A WYSIWYM editor should be supported instead of a WYSIWYG editor because the former manipulates the markup language instead of generating a mess of HTML.

- http://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/200612/forget_wysiwyg_editors_use_wysiwym_instead/

This means an editor that looks like a normal WYSIWYG editor, but instead of creating messy HTML, it edits the markup language and shows how it will look.

Perhaps WYMeditor can be adapted for this:
