Category: Technology

I work in technology sector. And I do round a clock, not only from 9 to 5. It is my bread and butter, it is my hobby, it is the fascination of my life. And with the current rate of change particular in information technology (IT), there is always something new to learn, to try, to talk about. I often post news, thoughts, and reviews. And when I do, this is the category I use.

Bootstrap WISWYG

Bootstrap WISWYG

Tiny bootstrap-compatible WISWYG rich text editor, based on browser execCommand, built originally for MindMup. Here are the key features:

  • Automatically binds standard hotkeys for common operations on Mac and Windows
  • Drag and drop files to insert images, support image upload (also taking photos on mobile devices)
  • Allows a custom built toolbar, no magic markup generators, enabling the web site to use all the goodness of Bootstrap, Font Awesome and so on…
  • Does not force any styling – it’s all up to you
  • Uses standard browser features, no magic non-standard code, toolbar and keyboard configurable to execute any supportedbrowser command
  • Does not create a separate frame, backup text areas etc – instead keeps it simple and runs everything inline in a DIV
  • (Optionally) cleans up trailing whitespace and empty divs and spans
  • Requires a modern browser (tested in Chrome 26, Firefox 19, Safari 6)
  • Supports mobile devices (tested on IOS 6 Ipad/Iphone and Android 4.1.1 Chrome)
