Salvaging ContentEditable - Building a Robust WYSIWYG Editor

Explore the implementation of a robust web-based WYSIWYG editor that reinterprets user actions as operations on a semantic document model, moving away from traditional HTML-based approaches. Learn how this innovative technique results in a more predictable WYSIWYM (What You See Is What You Mean) editor that maintains user-friendliness while overcoming the challenges of HTML soup output. Discover the process of taking control away from the browser's contentEditable implementation to create a more reliable editing experience in this 28-minute conference talk from JSConf EU 2015.
