Quickstart

From the ZIP to your first render.

Open examples/editor.html or examples/render.html for ready-made pages. The snippets below work with the files in the ZIP.

editor.html

<link rel="stylesheet" href="./browser/writer.css">
<script src="./browser/writer.min.js"></script>

<div id="app"></div>
<script>
  const editor = Writer.mount('#app', {
    value: '# Hello from Writer',
    theme: 'serif-editorial',
  });

  editor.addEventListener('wr-change', () => {
    console.log(editor.getMarkdown());
  });
</script>

render.html

<script src="./browser/writer-core.min.js"></script>
<script>
  const html = Writer.WriterRender(
    '# Hello\n\n**World**'
  ).asHTML();

  document.querySelector('#output').innerHTML = html;
</script>
