I'm searching for a JavaScript editor that allows me to use custom tags—no HTML or Markdown involved, just a straightforward editor where I can define and insert custom tags. I came across Markitup, but it's quite dated with its last release back in 2018. Are there any newer options out there? Thanks!

What exactly are you trying to achieve? If it's about creating a custom markup language, you might want to look into integrating a simple editor that lets you input tags directly into the text area without a WYSIWYG interface.
If you're looking for something like merge tags, consider parsing your input for placeholders like `{{my_tag}}` or `[[my_tag]]`. You can then replace those placeholders with specific values from a database or an API.
Are you thinking of using something like custom elements? You can define your own tags with `document.createElement('my-element');`. But if you're looking for something specifically for just inserting tags in a text area without HTML, I might need more details.
That's not quite what I need; I'm looking to insert custom tags into a text area only, without any HTML.
