Simple syntax-highlighting editor with Prism

Prism is a great Javascript syntax highlighter, and it's fast enough to be used on the fly for active editing; Lea Verou (the author) does this with Dabblet. Combined with bililiteRange to handle some of the subtleties of dealing with contenteditable elements, a syntax-highlighting editor is relatively easy.

Cross-Browser Text Ranges and Selections

Updated to version 2.3 on 2014-02-26 for data routines. I was trying to update my sendkeys plugin to use contentEditable, and realized that it was getting harder and harder to do without some selection/text replacement library. Each browser is different and even different elements are treated differently. There are a few libraries out there, but […]
