Jens G. (ID: 000000861929074d) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 03/31/2023 I would like to try this extension, but unfortunately our Azure instance is hosted under a custom domain. How can I add custom domains where this extension is enabled?

Karthick Perumal (ID: 000000e847506948) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 11/11/2022 It works for existing page but it doesn't work for new pages. So I need to create a page with place holder text and then need to edit it again to get this WYSIWYG editor

Milan Jaroš (ID: 0000003e2cba9799) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/04/2022 Thank you for your effort! This is very helpful for non-technical people who are not comfortable with editing _Markdown_, even if it has some issues like: * not displaying Mermaid diagrams and images in-place, * bad support for dark theme (e.g. insert link dialog, or switch to Markdown on the bottom), * not showing linked issues (using hash-tags, like #123), * not allowing to tag people (like @Milan) If the Markdown is blocking you from editing the wiki, it is worth to try.

Johnnie Tolken (ID: 00000006e68ec3f7) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 09/09/2022 Was very excited to see this, but it does not seem to work anymore, it does not activate the new editor when I go to my Azure Wiki Edit page...
