Problem to solve

When editing a file in a repository via the GitLab interface, e.g. the readme.md file, syntax highlighting is available and very useful. However, Wiki-pages are displayed in plain text, when editing them. An option to toogle on markdown syntax highlighting while editing wiki pages would help maintain bigger text in wikis.

Intended users

General user base - unknown

Further details

Contributes to a more convenient way of documenting stuff via GitLab wikis.

Proposal

Include some of the features of the repository text editor, mainly syntax highlighting, in the wiki/markdown editor.

Permissions and Security

Documentation

Availability & Testing

Since the main feature exists in GitLab already the feature transport should not pose significant risks.

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?

What is the type of buyer?

Should be available to all GitLab users, since documentation is a core component of all projects.
