Why Summernote?

Summernote has a few special features:

  • Paste images from clipboard
  • Saves images directly in the content of the field using base64 encoding, so you don't need to implement image handling at all
  • Simple UI
  • Interactive WYSIWYG editing
  • Handy integration with server

Installation and dependencies

Summernote uses opensource libraries: jQuery, Bootstrap, Font Awesome.

For Meteor, just run meteor add summernote:summernote. More info in the Meteor README.

For other/no frameworks:

1. include JS/CSS

Include the following code in the <head> tag of your HTML:

<!-- include libraries(jQuery, bootstrap, fontawesome) -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.3.min.js"></script> 
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/css/bootstrap.min.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.3.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" />

<!-- include summernote css/js-->
<link href="summernote.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="summernote.min.js"></script>

2. target elements

Then place a div tag somewhere in the body tag. This element will be replaced with the summernote editor.

<div id="summernote">Hello Summernote</div>

3. summernote

Finally, run this script after the DOM is ready:

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('#summernote').summernote();
});

API

code - get the HTML source code underlying the text in the editor:

var sHTML = $('#summernote').code();

Destroy summernote:

$('#summernote').destroy();

Warning - code injection

The code view allows the user to enter script contents. Make sure to filter/sanitize the HTML on the server. Otherwise, an attacker can inject arbitrary JavaScript code into clients.

Supported platforms

Any modern browser: Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer 9+.

 - void inline node: <img>
 - text node: #text
  1. A body container has block node, but <ul> has only <li> nodes.
  2. A body container also has inline nodes sometimes. This inline nodes will be wraped with <p> when enter key pressed.
