# VisualEditor
|
|
|
|
VisualEditor provides a visual editor for wiki pages. It is written in
|
|
JavaScript and runs in a web browser.
|
|
|
|
It uses the Parsoid parser to convert wikitext documents to annotated HTML
|
|
which the VisualEditor is able to load, modify and emit back to Parsoid at
|
|
which point it is converted back into wikitext.
|
|
|
|
For more information about these projects, check out the [VisualEditor][]
|
|
and [Parsoid][] pages on mediawiki.
