This is the HTML used directly in the page:

<form id="summernote" method="post" target="sp" action="[processing server side script]">
<!-- The target="sp" makes the form submit to the hidden iframe, giving an ajax, and non page reloading affect.
     action="[processing server side script]" is the script to target to process the form data. -->
    <input type="hidden" name="id" value="[database entry id or reference]">
<!-- The name "id" and value is what I use to reference the article or content reference. -->
    <input type="hidden" name="t" value="content">
<!-- The "t" (table) and value is the name of the database table. -->
    <input type="hidden" name="c" value="notes">
<!-- The "c" (column) and value is the name of the column in the database table. -->
    <textarea id="notes" class="form-control summernote" name="da" readonly>[content data to be edited]</textarea>
<!-- The "da" holds the content data from the editor to be maniupulated upon form submit. -->
</form>
<iframe id="sp" name="sp" class="hidden"></iframe>
<!-- This is the hidden iframe using Bootstrap's ".hidden" class to hide the iframe. -->

Finally, customize the Summernote Toolbar, this can be used directly in your page:

$('.summernote').summernote({
    tabsize: 2,
    toolbar: [
        ['save', ['save']], // The button
    ],
    save:{
        encode: false // true = encode editor data.
    }
});
