eddie

A basis for creating rich text editors on the web.

As many developers/designers have found, there isn't a single rich text editor that does exactly what they want, particularly from the UI perspective. This has consequently led to developers creating their own from scratch.

Aims of this project:

• to be UI free i.e. expose a set of methods that mark up the content, but leave the UI implementation open.
• to normalize the output of contentEditable across browsers, creating nice, semantic markup (perhaps one for another library?)
• to limit the permitted HTML elements to the Markdown subset (do you really need more?)

Proposed API

Something along these lines:

var editable = document.getElementsById('editable'),
    editor = new Eddie(editable);
  
onSomeEvent(editor.makeBold);
