Don't waste your time fixing this bug...

I admit it, I am not a fan of your choice to use a Markdown editor... I like Imzy!!! I want Imzy to succeed!!! I am telling you this because I feel the choice of a Markdown editor will be a serious impediment to Imzy's potential success. Markdown is much too chryptic for average users... to say nothing of neophytes... I have 40 years of software development experience and I find it cumbersome and chryptic. A WYSIWYG editor with a back door to HTML would be much better in my view!!!

That said, if you are going to go this way, the buttons providing easier access to markdown functionality should, at the very least, work correctly. The link button has got serious problems... The next two images illustrate the problem...

Highlight a word or phrase...

Click the link button... the markdown code is inserted NOT on the highlighted word, but in the text at the nearest point to the cursor at the time the link button is clicked. FYI- The same thing happens with the image button.

The title of this article was chosen to get your attention... but I am absolutely serious... Your time would be much better spent converting to a properly functioning WYSIWYG editor with a back door to HTML.

ON ANOTHER MATTER (also a bug)... I got about half of this post written, and then realized I needed to change the community from "Mal's World" (my community) to the Imzy community... Upon making that change I discovered that the entire contents of this edit window was permanently erase, requiring me to rewrite what I had already spent some time writting.

Cheers... With the best of intentions, Mal
