You can set defaults.textarea to a piece of HTML string, by default, it's <textarea name="content"></textarea>。This will be set as innerHTML of your #editor.

If options.debug is set to true, Pen will output logs to the Console of your browser.

You can set options.list to an Array, add the following strings to make your own:

blockquote, h2, h3, p: create a tag as its literal meaning
insertorderedlist: create an ol>li list
insertunorderedlist: create a ul>li list
indent: indent list / blockquote block
outdent: outdent list / blockquote block
bold: wrap the text selection in a b tag
