Minimalist WYSIWYG Rich Text Editor – SlimWhizzy

Description:

SlimWhizzy is a super small (less than 1kb) JavaScript library which makes use of execCommand() to create a minimal, clean WYSIWYG Rich Text Editor for a content editable element.

How to use it:

Use an iconic font of your choice for the editor icons.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">

Create the toolbar for the WYSIWYG Rich Text Editor.

      <i class="fa fa-bold"></i>
  </a>
