Which features do we need for a real WYSIWYG editor to enhance questions texts and their answers?
It seems however that these features are currently very limited: bullet point lists, numbered lists... that's all.
Too many features would be a bad idea, because they would probably bring a lot of additional complexity.
Personally, I would appreciate:
* Bold and Italic
* Choice of 3 fonts, maybe within a limited set of styles: fixed font ala Courier, sans-serif font like Arial, serif-font like Georgia and Times Roman.
This would probably enhance a lot questions and answers...
What do YOU think?
(Initially typed in WYSIWYG... but this seems to crash Mahalo!)
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

M$heh, no way would I want to see colored text, it would in an instant ruin the credibility of the website...sorry
@fibo I guess it depends on how it's used, but when you think of the websites that gave users the ability to color their text (bulletin boards, forums, myspace) they are generally unattractive websites to visit. Mahalo Answers is working towards being a reputable legitimate Q&A service, I just don't think new users and visitors would take us seriously if my text here was in large bold font purple.
@Jeff: could you elaborate? Do you mean that anything else that black would be a major trouble in site credibility?
Not arguing (yet), just curious and preparing to read/listen
Right. Being able to attribute source to a quote, and to show that it is a quote, is an essential part of the web.
