WYSIWYG editor textarea not recognized by LanguageTool

[mwip]

I am using LanguageTool's browser extension to check my language, spelling and grammar. It's an awesome tool that helps iron out some mistakes.

In Gitea's WYSIWYG editors, for example when writing an issue, I noticed that LanguageTool does not recognize the textarea.

As soon as I revert to the simple textarea, the textarea is recognized, though:

Initially I thought this might be due to the extended Markdown WYSIWYG functionality of the advanced editor. However, I checked both GitHub

and Stack Overflow:

My guess is that the LanguageTool extensions misread some HTML signature. I checked both the Firefox and Chromium extensions. They behave the same.

Unfortunately, I am not versed in web development, so I don't quite know what to look for. If someone can point me in the right direction, I can add more details.

This is because CodeMirror does not represent as something many browser addons can recognize. I think it can only be fixed by #10729.

It might be fixed by #19776 , the native editable content might work for language tools.
