I don't want to be the spoil sport, but even though this looks nice, am I the only one here that still believes in hand-coding HTML?

Most of HN shares the same opinion, but what does this have to do with bootstrap-wysihtml5?

I think it's more a matter of context. In fact, I do believe in hand coding HTML. but this is a link for a simple wysiwyg editor. I would assume that this attracts mainly people that have _some_ need for a wysiwyg editor for _something_. So your demographic might be skewed inside this particular comment section?

Sigh. Deal-breaker. Hitting 'Enter' creates s and not s and it looks like they don't plan to change it: https://github.com/xing/wysihtml5/issues/13

How about shift-enter for ?

Traditionally it works the other way around - shift-enter for br and enter for p.

Good point, and one I didn't realize.

This is pretty awesome, the only issue I have is it seems to escape my HTML automatically preventing me from using it as the editor for my blog :/

None of these wysiwig editors work properly on an ipad. I bet it is the same for smart phones.

Tell Apple about it: http://openradar.appspot.com/7619599

Odd, there were reports of iOS 5 fixing issues with contentEditable: http://www.symphonious.net/2011/06/10/contenteditable-in-mob...
