*laughs* .. I wouldn't call writing formatted posts a challenge .. but it's a challenge to get it looking the same ingame and offgame ^^ ..
A WYSIWYG editor could offgame be realized by javascript, as many of them have been made so far, but I'm not sure that blowing up the ingame browser to fully support javascript would be a benefit. Didn't look into it close enough yet, but perhaps it's better to implement it in LUA or to put it into the ingame browser gui code as a special replacement to the standard text input widget. Bla .. sorry, I'm just keeping performance and convenience in mind ..
But before putting hands on that, I'd suggest improving the display of formatted posts .. *grin*
