==== ✅ 1. ProseMirror — Modern WYSIWYG Editor ====

If what you want is a **What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get (WYSIWYG)** interface — where you format text visually without typing wiki markup — the **ProseMirror** plugin is the closest you’ll get for DokuWiki. It lets you edit pages much like a word processor.

**Key points:**

* Provides a visual editor instead of the standard plain text.
  * You can bold, underline, insert lists, headings, etc., without manually writing the syntax.
  * You //can// toggle between WYSIWYG and plain syntax editing.

💡 It isn’t drag-and-drop //layout// (blocks you can move around freely) like Word, but it does remove most of the need to learn special wiki characters.

**Install via:**\\ Admin → Extension Manager → Search for ''prosemirror''

==== ⚠️ Other WYSIWYG Editors (less ideal) ====

There are some older/incomplete WYSIWYG plugins (e.g., CKEditor based like **ckgedit**), but they mostly produce HTML behind the scenes and then convert it back to wiki syntax — which can mess up formatting.

----

==== 🧱 2. Layout Extensions (partial help) ====

These don’t give Word-like WYSIWYG layout, but they help structure content:

* **block Plugin** — lets you create styled boxes and text blocks easily.
  * **EditTable Plugin** — makes creating tables easier without editing wiki syntax manually.

These still require some markup but can simplify structured layouts.

==== ❓ What you cannot get easily ====

There currently isn’t a plugin that turns DokuWiki into //full drag-and-drop page layout// (like Word or a CMS page builder) out of the box. The closest is the modern WYSIWYG editor (ProseMirror), which handles most formatting tasks visually.

**Summary Recommendation**\\ 👉 **Install the ProseMirror plugin** — it’s the best way to edit pages without needing to think in wiki syntax.
