When writing an larger piece of text, it is more convenient to use an external editor. Starting Mediawiki 1.5 there is a good framework for this.
However, the current reference implementation is not installation friendly and needs some system admin skills
- Perl-based reference implementation
- DSchneider uses this on his Linux box. Needs some installation work not that difficult on Linux at least. Wiki serves a special mime type that calls the perl script which in turn works with any UTF-8 capable editor (I use Gnu Emacs).
