./_scripts/serve.sh

Codepens can be created using the "codepen.html" include, e.g:

{% include codepen.html id="basic-example" %}

There are several options for this include file - please see codepen.html for details.

All codepens usually get their tinymce.min.js URL from the codepen_url setting in the _config.yml file. However, there are some instances where you wish to override this, e.g.

• You want to push/deploy a branch for a new feature that's only on the 'dev' channel.
• You want to run the site locally, but test out the codepens in a different channel.

To help with this, there are two mechanisms for overriding the tinymce.min.js URL.

1. Set codepen_url in _config-local-override.yml.

   • This will override the codepen_url setting in config.yml.
   • This file is not intended to be checked in.
   • This option changes the URL for all codepens.

2. Set the script_url_override setting when including codepen.html.

   • This is useful if you want to deploy the develop branch for a feature only in the 'dev' channel.
   • This only overrides the URL for one codepen.
   • Don't use this in more than one codepen on a page.
   • Don't use this long-term - when the feature is fully rolled-out, use the standard channel.
   • See codepen.html for details.

Note: Jekyll is pretty bad at automatically reloading code when you're playing with include files. Sometimes you need to restart the server.

If you would like to contribute to the TinyMCE project please read the Contributor's Guide

It's very slow and the minifier is using regex to parse HTML. We may add a different minifier in the future.

While working with Codepens, please be aware that adding comments in the single line format (//) to the *.js files will break the related demonstration due to parsing issues. To create comments, use this format:

<!--
    This is a comment.
-->

Or

/*
    This is a comment.
*/
