Usage

<textarea id="some-textarea" placeholder="Enter text ..."></textarea>
<script type="text/javascript">
	$('#some-textarea').wysihtml5();
</script>

You can get the html generated by getting the value of the text area, e.g.

$('#some-textarea').val();

Advanced

To override what buttons to show, you pass in an object literal:

$('#some-textarea').wysihtml5({
	"font-styles": true, //Font styling, e.g. h1, h2, etc. Default true
	"emphasis": true, //Italics, bold, etc. Default true
	"lists": true, //(Un)ordered lists, e.g. Bullets, Numbers. Default true
	"html": false, //Button which allows you to edit the generated HTML. Default false
	"link": true, //Button to insert a link. Default true
	"image": true //Button to insert an image. Default true
});

It is possible to supply a number of stylesheets for inclusion in the editor ``:</p> <pre> $('#some-textarea').wysihtml5({ "stylesheets": ["/path/to/editor.css"] }); &lt;/pre&gt; &lt;p&gt;Wysihtml5 exposes a &lt;a href="https://github.com/xing/wysihtml5/wiki/Events"&gt;number of events&lt;/a&gt;. You can hook into these events when initialising the editor:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;pre&gt; $('#some-textarea').wysihtml5({ "events": { "load": function() { console.log("Loaded!"); }, "blur": function() { console.log("Blured"); } } }); </pre> <p>You can access the wysihtml5 editor object like this:</p> <pre> var wysihtml5Editor = $('#some-textarea').wysihtml5().data("wysihtml5").editor; wysihtml5Editor.composer.commands.exec("bold"); </pre>
