Compatibility with non textarea-based WYSIWYG elements

[ErikDeBruijn]

Mention.js has a great user experience. We're evaluating whether to sacrifice the wysiwyg textfield and make it a plain html textarea element to use it, since it seems to be working with textareas only.

What would it take to allow it to work with rich-text editing enabled elements?

I came here looking for the same thing as I'm wanting an @ mentions functionality added to a Froala Editor. I did find this one that works with contenteditable areas: https://github.com/ichord/At.js

Maybe it will interest you.
