About HTMLwiki

HTMLwiki is a wiki platform written entirely with HTML and JavaScript. Its development is still ongoing as of January 2023.

History

HTMLwiki's origins are in an HTML document I wrote dated from July 31st, 2020, demonstrating the ability to change the content of a page with only HTML and JavaScript. It had no fancy styling, only pure HTML. I was young back then, so it was actually impressive that I could make something this complex. (Well, it's actually very simple, looking back on it.) However, the content was replaced with "Edit your text here" instead of what the user input.

In a second version dated from August 1st, the content actually started updating to the user's input, and the ability to add special text was added. At least, it was supposed to be, because looking back at it, it didn't work. At all. Not even with the button. And for some odd reason, I replaced the text area that is the editor with a div that had contentenabled set to true. Even though this technically still makes it editable, it's subpar in every way and I have no idea why I replaced it with that. (A working version can be found here).

Skipping over a year to December 2021, the next surviving version of HTMLwiki was mostly in HTMLwiki's current state (a working version can be found here). A few minor changes later, here we are, in January 2023, with HTMLwiki mostly complete in its current state.
