Improved visual editor
J

Currently, the visual editor is missing various features that are available in the markdown editor. Examples: changing the quote design, adding footnotes, and the option to add a horizontal bar.
For a modern wiki system, it would be really nice to see all these features to be working in the visual editor, so that users don’t have to learn markdown.

The visual editor also doesn't seem to support math expressions rendered with KateX

In a table, it would be nice to allow the formating of all selected cells. Only none-empty cells are formatted at the moment. So I I want my text to be BIG in all cell, I have to format it every time I add content in a new cell or select all the cells and apply formatting after each editing session.
Would also be important to be able to copy to multiple cells at once and be able to multi-select cells with shift or ctrl.
And column sorting and filters would also be very usefull

What I would like to see is the possibility to add custom properties to elements, like tables and paragraphs so that I can use the css styles to influence it's apprearance individually, for example it is impossible to use flexbox.
Also would be nice if I could paste custom insets which would accept some input and translate it to html code defined by me, for example I want to add some hidden content (input) which would only be visible once the user clicks it. Or combined with the above use flexboxes with <div> elements to create some layout which adapts to the screen size.

Although the markdown is great, there is no way I can get my colleagues to that use markdown. They want to share information in the Wiki but the step is just to great to write "code" so we're stuck with the visual editor.
The two things we miss the most are:
- Tabs
- Block quotes (info, warning,...)

Since this request is all about updating the visual editor... changing the font color would be nice..

Features I would find useful in the visual editor are:
- spell checker / synonyms with the ability to add to a dictionary for both.
- wrap cell contents in tables. Currently long lines don't wrap and make the page look horrible.
- option to set a link to open in a new page.

I for one would like it to not mess up the markdown file when converting. Actually a visual editor, it should only edit the markdown file, just more visually.

Yes, please as this is so important.
The issue are many Features like callouts (is-info, is-success, is-warning, is-danger) didapper when change to the visual editor.

Second this. Would like to create "invisible" tables, where you can put images and so on. Been able to get it almost invisible, but the grey outline shadow.
Also, the font size function is broken and able to set ANY font color is very much needed.

Also, having the diagram tool added to the visual editor would be nice.
