GitHub Writer is a WYSIWYG rich-text editor for GitHub. The extension is available when creating or commenting on issues, reviews, pull requests, and wikis. 

It provides all the features available in the GitHub plain-text editor, including Markdown input. For features like tables, it offers a much easier experience in comparison to plain-text Markdown and allows users to be more productive. No more switching to the Preview tab to see what you write!

It is powered by CKEditor 5, a modern JavaScript rich-text editor. 

GitHub Writer is an Open Source project and your questions, feedback and contributions are always welcome.
