Prefer WYSIWYG (HTML-based editing):
-
Use django-summernote, django-ckeditor, django-tinymce, or similar editors.
-
Ideal when non-technical users need a visual editor with rich formatting and media integration.
Prefer Markdown editing:
-
Opt for django-markdownx or martor, which provide textarea-based Markdown editing and live preview.
-
Great for structured text input, developer-friendly workflows, or compatibility with static-site formats.
