Hashify Editor

Hashify Editor turns any textarea into a capable Markdown editor. It's similar to John Fraser's wmd, but more modular and much lighter weight.

API

Hashify.editor

Turns a textarea into a Markdown editor.

Hashify.editor(id [, preview [, callback]])

Parameters

id

The id of a textarea, or a textarea node.

preview

Boolean which determines whether the "preview" link is included. Defaults to true.

callback

Function to be invoked every time Hashify Editor handles an event. Within the function, this refers to the textarea. Hashify, for example, uses a callback to update the URL with each keystroke.

Example

Hashify.editor(editor, false, function () {
  setLocation(Hashify.encode(this.value));
});

Hashify.encode

Returns the Base64-encoded representation of a binary input string.

Hashify.encode(text)

Hashify.decode

Returns the binary representation of a Base64-encoded input string.

Hashify.decode(text)

Testing changes

Automated testing of behaviour which depends on keyboard events is problematic for several reasons. As a result, testing Hashify Editor is currently a manual process, albeit a rather pleasant one:
