im searching for a libary or suggestions for making a real time styler in javascript/jquery. The idea is that my users have a html text input, i need to detect in real time some patterns and apply an style to it, for example is the user writes #some_text all after the # should be considered like a tag a have to be bold like #some_text.
Im very new at javascript so i have no idea of where to begin, i did some research but i didn't find any already made libary. Thanks for any help and suggestions!
What about something like jQuery Tagit?
You could initialize it like this:
<script>
$(function() {
var availableTags = [
"#some_text1",
"#some_text2",
"#some_text3"
];
$('#tags').tagit({tagSource: availableTags});
});
</script>
<ul id="tags"></ul>
Something like that is used right here, on this website. Whenever you write a question or an answer in the editor, you get a live update in the area below. When you apply formatting it's updated in real-time in the preview area.
This uses a standard mark-up syntax called Markdown. What's good about that is that there are many tools that support Markdown, so you can find integrations for jQuery and even offline editors (Windows and Mac).
Check this question and its answers for some editors that do this.
Also check out the stand-alone version of the Stack Overflow editor.
maybe this helps you a little bit to understand what you have to do:

All I did is add an event listener to 'keydown' which means a key is pressed, and then you just have a look if there is a '#' in the line and if you add it to the p -tag which is bold.
Its only a demonstration.

How are you guys doing?
I am recently doing applying CKEditor to my corp's editor.
It's been great though I've got stuck in some problem.
I expect it to be the best even when we paste other contents from web or Word, but What blocks me doing is something kind of inline style tag, such as 'p style....' since it won't take its style away that my viewer doesn't seem to keep the same form.
I found out that filter.js would be the perfect solution for it. But there doesn't seem to be any way I can handle in my IDE since it doesn't exist.
How can I find a file called 'filter.js' or other plug-in so that I can handle the other way. this is the URL which would be help.
http://docs.ckeditor.com/source/filter.html#CKEDITOR-filter
Thanks.
Do I have to make new file called filter.js so I can edit on my own.
So confused. Hope to get some nice solution to it. Thanks.
CKEditor has a robust content filtering system called ACF (Advanced Content Filter). Read more about it here: http://docs.ckeditor.com/#!/guide/dev_acf and see the samples here: http://sdk.ckeditor.com/samples/acf.html. It's highly flexible so you can customize it to your needs.
I am trying to create an interactive tutorial for learning an API. I've been googling my options for an entire day now. I came across ace, code mirror etc. but I'm not sure how I can use them in my case.
What I wish to do is that when the user clicks a button, a javascript code linked to it should open up in an editor on the same webpage. This would aid the users to see how the code is working and give them scope to modify and learn.
I know its not a constructive question but any help is appreciated! Thanks!
you can just wantch here how it is done
They made it with knockout MVVM but you can use angular or anything else you like.
I used tags to store my code and displayed it using codemirror's setValue property mentioned by #georg.
I'm working on an ASP.NET MVC project which uses the MarkdownDeep Editor to add a rich editor on top of a basic markdown input textbox (very similar to the Stackoverflow editor window).
Generally it works great. However, in certain scenarios, I would like to disable the preview window. This is automatically generated below the textarea by MDD. Can this be disabled?
Just to be clear, I know I can use CSS to hide the preview. But on some devices it's slow and makes typing painful. I want to entirely turn off that feature. I don't see anything in the docs other than how to customize the preview.
Any ideas?
In the docs it specifically mentions that it is recommended that you have the div preview already in your document because it will be created if it isn't found and consequently, could could a visible page refresh if any re-layout has to occur.
Note: the associated divs are all optional and if missing, the plugin will create them. However... you might experience the page jumping around during load if you do this. ie: it's recommended to explicitly include them.
Thus from the sounds of this, and that there doesn't appear to be any option to turn it off in the API page I would say no, it's not possible.
I am a little confused here: if you don't want the preview, use a regular text area instead of mdd_editor... So, under the scenarios where you don't need the previews, instantiate a plain vanilla editor. What am I missing here?
I know this is old, but I was looking for something else on mdd. I recently had this same requirement.
Just comment out the code
// Update the DOM
if (this.m_divHtml)
this.m_divHtml.innerHTML=output;
in MarkdownDeepEditor.js
I am a beginner in HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. I reached my limit for the use of the trial version of Microsoft's OneNote. I like the program so much, I want to make an equivalent of it as an html version so I won't have to empty my pockets for the paid version.
The part I need help with is the part where you type in your notes. I don't know how to make a text edit field in html. Is it possible to do something like that? I would be satisfied if it could only do the same functions as note pad. Just so long as I am able to do the simple type and edit functions. Can someone show me how to code this or lead me to a site that teaches something like this?
Thanks! Tony.
There are plenty of solutions out there. Nicedit, CKEditor, etc. These all have a Rich text interface, and are javascript managed.
The simplest solution would be to just use a <textarea> which would allow for plain text input only.
The simplest way is to use the <textarea> tag in HTML. See this link too.
You can also use HTML5 Data caching to save your notes locally through your browser after implementing your textarea tags.
Here's a neat little plugin that should be relatively minor to install/use.

If you've ever used www.jsfiddle.net, you might notice that it marks up code with proper colorings, and various other helpers like translating tabs to four spaces or shift-tab. With Firebug I see that it's doing this with an iFrame. Is there an open source library to do this? I want to let people write Python on a web page, but make it pretty like jsfiddle.
Check out CodeMirror.
