demo: http://daviferreira.github.io/medium-editor/
Via npm:
Run in your console: npm install medium-editor
Via bower:
bower install medium-editor
Manual installation:
Download the latest release and attach medium editor's stylesheets to your page:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/medium-editor.css"> <!-- Core -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/themes/default.css"> <!-- or any other theme -->
The next step is to reference the editor's script
<script src="js/medium-editor.js"></script>
You can now instantiate a new MediumEditor object:
<script>var editor = new MediumEditor('.editable');</script>
The above code will transform all the elements with the .editable class into HTML5 editable contents and add the medium editor toolbar to them.
You can also pass a list of HTML elements:
var elements = document.querySelectorAll('.editable'),
editor = new MediumEditor(elements);
MediumEditor also supports textarea. If you provide a textarea element, the script will create a new div with contentEditable=true, hide the textarea and link the textarea value to the div HTML content.

Medium Editor, by default, will show only the buttons listed above to avoid a huge toolbar. There are a few extra buttons you can use:

document.execCommanddocument.execCommand('createLink') commandsaveSelection() was calledon()delay optionimportSelection()exportSelection())For observing any changes on contentEditable, use the custom 'editableInput' event exposed via the subscribe() method:
var editor = new MediumEditor('.editable');
editor.subscribe('editableInput', function (event, editable) {
// Do some work
});
This event is supported in all browsers supported by MediumEditor (including IE9+)! To help with cases when one instance of MediumEditor is monitoring multiple elements, the 2nd argument passed to the event handler (editable in the example above) will be a reference to the contenteditable element that has actually changed.
This is handy when you need to capture any modifications to the contenteditable element including:
Why is this interesting and why should you use this event instead of just attaching to the input event on the contenteditable element?
So for most modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.), the input event works just fine. Infact, editableInput is just a proxy for the input event in those browsers. However, the input event is not supported for contenteditable elements in IE 9-11.
So, to properly support the editableInput event in Internet Explorer, MediumEditor uses a combination of the selectionchange and keypress events, as well as monitoring calls to document.execCommand.

They have plugins for most popular editors/IDEs to make coding for our project, but you should use them in your project as well!
We use JSHint on each build to find easy-to-catch errors and potential problems in our js. You can find our JSHint settings in the .jshintrc file in the root of the project.
We use jscs on each build to enforce some code style rules we have for our project. You can find our jscs settings in the .jscsrc file in the root of the project.
We use EditorConfig to maintain consistent coding styles between various editors and IDEs. You can find our settings in the .editorconfig file in the root of the project.
