Summary
GitHub Writer brings the ease of use of WYSIWYG editing to GitHub. It provides all the features available in the GitHub plain-text editor, including Markdown input.
The extension is available when creating or commenting on issues, reviews, pull requests, and wikis. For features like tables, it offers a much easier experience in comparison to plain-text Markdown and allows users to be more productive. No more switching to the Preview tab to see what you write!
It is powered by CKEditor 5, a modern Javascript rich-text editor.
GitHub Writer is an Open Source project and your questions, feedback or contributions are always welcome.
