Good point -- I had some CSS attached to H1 nodes that accidentally also matched H1s in the editor. Should be fixed now.

Also note, some of the tooltips appear as "undefined" and there's no way to advance the cursor past a horizontal rule at the end of the document.

Nonsense, I've written a much smaller one: `function tinyEditor(element) { element.contentEditable = true }` That, plus a few crude buttons, is all this does.

There's some work happening on the W3C editing taskforce to improve the concepts involved, but that's also moving at a glacial pace, and having to struggle with brow…

Again, you are getting offended. Not once did I suggest editor implementors are clueless. They're likely some of the best and sharpest developers out there. Please, as I mentioned earlier, take this project with a grain of salt. By "fallen behind" I meant still making the assumption that many users are still using outdated browsers. This is not the case anymore, especially in the last year. And because of this fact,…

ProseMirror was started 2 years ago, initially only targeted evergreen browser, and has recently grudgingly added support for IE11 because customers asked for it. But yeah, I guess for some parts of some of the older projects this may apply.
