Resizing Editor
EditArea comes with the ability to dynamically resize the editor as you are using it. However, unlike most other resizing methods where you click and hold then resize the editor, EditArea works a little differently. You still need to click the resize button but you should not hold it. After you click the resize button, the editor should disappear and in its place is just an outline of the current size of the editor. Now you can resize the editor. Once you are done, just click again and the editor should be resized to the same size as that outline.
Settings
Information on the settings be probably be better explained at the creator of EditArea homepage. However, the following information should be more than sufficient for you to get an understanding of what each setting does.
- Lanuage: The language of some of the text used by the editor such as the stuff you see at the bottom of the editor and title attributes when you mouse over a button.
- Toolbar Elements: The elements that should be shown on the toolbar. This should just be a string containing the following combination of characters: "|", "*", "search", "go_to_line", "undo", "redo", "change_smooth_selection", "reset_highlight", "highlight", "help", "save", "load", "new_document", and "syntax_selection". "|" or "separator" will show a separator in the toolbar. "*" or "return" will create a line-break in the toolbar.
