I'm testing out the MarkItUp! rich text editor in a MVC app, and everything is working great with the exception of the preview. In the settings (set.js), there is a previewParserPath property ("path to your BBCode parser"). I'm not exactly sure what this is looking for in terms of proper integration with the MVC app.
I believe that this property is what allows the rendering of the text to appear as HTML rather than [code][/code] etc.
In my controller, I have created the following:
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Get)]
[ValidateInput(false)]
public String ParseCode(string toBeParsed)
{
return BBCode.ToHtml(toBeParsed);
}
Looking at the MarkItUp documentation
previewParserPath string > path You can set path of your own parser to preview the result of markup langages other than html. If this property is setted, built-in preview will be overrided by your own preview script. Use ~/ for markItUp! root.
previewParserVar string > default: data Name of the var posted with the editor content to the parser defined above.
So I assume you set previewParserPath to /MyController/ParseCode where MyController is the controller with your parsing action. Also, set previewParserVar to toBeParsed
Note: I'm not sure if MarkItUp does an POST or GET to the parser, so I would remove the AcceptVerb[HttpVerbs.Get] from your action. I would assume it uses POST though.
