You need to add an 's' at the end of "provide".

just add it yourself.

Very nice. Agreed with another commenter that the default animations could be snappier.

I have a complaint: like many HTML WYSIWYG tools, modes are not directly reversible. For example, select a word then click the "numbered list" button. Then click it again to switch back to a normal paragraph. Oddly, a new paragraph has been added above your selection.

So many HTML WYSIWYG tools have this kind of quirk, leading to very polluted output HTML (with empty tags, redundant tags, and so on).

A weekend side project done by kenshin54 and myself, hope it is working for you. And it's far more powerful than it presents.

Seems to lack a license. I'm assuming the intention was to make this open source? Anyway, great work! Many similarities in the UI to my http://hallojs.org/ editor. I'd love to integrate this with Create.js if you can clarify the license question...

I was just going to comment on the similarity as well. I think these built-in HTML5 editors are great, especially when they include persistence. For the node.js devs, I made a wrapper for Create.js http://github.com/primaryobjects/contentblocks

This is really weird, I happened to ask on Twitter if there was anything like this just two days ago: https://twitter.com/jbrooksuk/status/341914274014302208

It's almost perfect, I prefer how Medium.com positions the toolbar, top & center of selected content.

Cool! Added a link to the Create.js README: https://github.com/bergie/create/commit/24fb0c02d68f9deecf32...
