Hanyuan brought up the extension “styled components” to help with highlighting syntax
Nathan has worked on the UI for login authentication

Need to design our own editor before we can implement any functionality
Not sure what to imitate/use
- Not HTML
- Not LaTeX
- Might copy a simpler version of Word (YAMAL)
  - would not need to be as complicated as Word as we only need ours being displayed on the web
JSON vs XML - we are more familiar with JSON than we are XML. If XML turns out to be easier to use, may switch
How Word works: every new line is broken into elements and there are subsets for different headings - that is, break everything up to formulate blocks and new lines
Feature of synchronous (more than one person) editing might not be possible currently - may be implemented in the future
- Varun has mentioned that there is backend support for this already
- Theoretically possible (feature is in library) but we would need to further research how to implement
Core functionality to focus on should be “what you see is what you get”
Should test a few of these libraries and how they work
FaceBook uses draft.js, and this is probably sufficient for our needs

Buttons needs to work
- New page and new folder specifically
- Cyan buttons we can’t do anything about right now (Edit, Feature, Recycle)
- Also probably can’t do anything with Blog and Core pages
Popup - material UI

Matt will arrange a meeting with Media directors to consult with them on how they would like their page to look
