In WYSIWIG editors, they provide ability to create/edit the wiki pages by by using a toolbar such as creating/formatting a document in microsoft word using the ribbon. In using these wysiwig editors user does not need to know the wiki markups and their syntaxes. So anyone can easily use the editor. We are going to implement a such a toolbar for the Mylyn WikiText editor as well. Then the users can create/edit their wikipages easily. This enhancement request to track the progress of the work. This is a part of the GSoc 2010 program for Eclipse Foundation.

Attaching a sample Tool bar for a Simple Text Editor

This contains a simple tool bar implementation for a standard Text editor implementation. This extends the TextEditor implementation and placed the editor on a FillLayout. On top of the editor, the page contains the toolbar with few items. No listeners or actions are integrated yet but can be done with simple effort. Necessary classes are there, Need only few more work. This is only for demonstration purposes.

Harshana, thanks for the contribution.  Here are some pointers:

* develop your code as patches against /org.eclipse.mylyn.wikitext.sandbox.ui
* in your patches, if possible use @org.eclipse.mylyn.wikitext.ui.editor.WikiTextSourceEditor@ as the base class to your editor

Hi David, Thanks for the feedback and useful points. 

I will do the necessary changes quickly as possible to the implemented code to make them patch against /org.eclipse.mylyn.wikitext.sandbox.ui and will use the @org.eclipse.mylyn.wikitext.ui.editor.WikiTextSourceEditor as the best class for the editor.
