This is an experiment in creating a text editor (for computer code) in Safari/WebKit.
Requires Safari 4 or Chrome
Disclaimer: This is just for fun and not meant to be a useful editor.
Open index.html or try it out online.
Or, optionally, install a Node.js server locally so the AJAX parts work. To do that, follow these steps:
-
Install node.js (download at link above and follow instructions to compile and install)
-
Run the following command to ensure the node-static dependency is installed:
git submodule update --init --recursive
-
On the command line, run
node server.js
-
Go to http://localhost:8001/index.html in a browser (assuming you're running node locally).
This thing currently uses Google Prettify for syntax highlighting which is very buggy. You can disable prettify (and thus enable things like undo/redo which breaks with Prettify) by changing the following line in index.html:
<script src="prettify.js"></script>
to:
<!--script src="prettify.js"></script-->
