Flow-wysihtml5 NPM

h1. wysihtml5x 0.4.0

wysihtml5x is an extended and less strict approach on xing/wysihtml5 open source rich text editor based on HTML5 technology. The code is completely library agnostic: No jQuery, Prototype or similar is required.

This project was initiated and is supported by the "XING AG":https://www.xing.com. Thanks!

h2. Features

Auto linking of urls as-you-type
Generates valid and semantic HTML5 markup (no )
Can use class-names instead of inline styles
Unifies line-break handling across browsers (hitting enter will create instead of or )
Auto-parses content inserted via copy & paste (from Word, Powerpoint, PDF, other web pages, ...)
Converts invalid or unknown html tags into valid/similar tags
Source code view for users with HTML skills
Uses sandboxed iframes in order to prevent identity theft through XSS
Editor inherits styles and attributes (placeholder, autofocus, ...) from original textarea (you only have to style one element)

Extended features not present in xing/wysihtml5 0.4.0pre

Can be used without iframe sandbox when initiated on div instead of textarea
Blocking of image drag drop in editable is removed
Table insertion management and cell merging commands
Improved parser with options to: unwrap tag instead of remove, keep defined styles, complex object type definitions for allowing elements.
Ability to add uneditable area inside editor text flow (useful when building modules like video tools, advanced image editor etc.)
Improved formatblock handling
Ability for user to remove formating with only collapsed caret. (without having to select exactly whole text)
Improved speed

h2. Browser Support

The rich text editing interface is supported in IE8+, FF 3.5+, Safari 4+, Safari on iOS 5+, Opera 11+ and Chrome. Graceful Degradation: Users with other browsers will see the textarea and are still able to write plain HTML by themselves.
