[Bug 19691] Enable inclusion of HTML

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=19691

--- Comment #2 from David Kirstein (Frozenice) <frozenice@frozenice.de> ---
I guess you mean dabblet, Garbee. I love the previewers there, those would be
an awesome feature to have.

Two issues come to mind, revisions and security. Revisions would be nice to
have in case some change breaks the code or in case of vandalism. Security is
obvious, we can't allow random HTML with <script> etc.

I thought about using MediaWiki as a solution, possibly using a seperate
namespace e.g. "Snippets:". We would automatically have the revisioning and
maybe we could set that namespace so, that admins must confirm the edits (I
don't know the patroling feature of MW that good). If that doesn't work there
would have to be some automatic filter that excludes certain tags.

When the reader clicks on the "run that code" button/link, the example could be
rendered in a layer using an iframe, the source would be somehow pulled from
that Snippet:Something article.

Would be nice if could be directly integrated into the semantic forms, but my
knowledge of those is even more limited. :)

Just an idea, hopefully some other people have more to add. I'll maybe take a
closer look at MW plugins programming etc.
