How do I disable the WYSIWYG editor?

andrew August 16, 2024

How do I disable the WYSIWYG editor in Trello?  I used to be able to do it in Trello labs, but that option is missing.

Hello @andrew ,

As of August 15th, Trello has enforced the use of the new WYSIWYG editor, making it impossible to switch back to the markdown editor.

But, I've created a browser extension that brings legacy markdown editor back.

Chrome/Edge/Opera: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/better-trello/dnhdnenpngcecekbhklemaidbdpibiae
Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/pl/firefox/addon/better-trello/

If you have any issues, please let me know! :)

I love the idea, but unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work for markdown editing (at least in Brave).  All of the other options are nice, though.

@andrew ,

It's currently working only for card description. I will check if there's any issue with Brave browser and fix it if possible.

I slapped together a script to add a textarea.  It's not ideal, but it's far better than mixing markdown/rich text like the current editor.
