I just added a demo: http://trix-editor.org/

You should probably put a link in the README.md in the github repository - it was the first thing I looked for (Cmd+F -> "demo"). Nothing beats a visual experience in case of a frontend library.

Neat, thanks! Literally just this morning I was thinking to myself that I would give just about anything for a high quality OSS rich text editor capable of generating terse, correct HTML output.

And here, not even 24 hours later, one just falls into my lap.

Looks like you got two wishes left. Use them wisely...

I don't know what my second wish will be, but I can tell you my third will be "I wish I had a monkey paw."

There's also ProseMirror [1], which I'm told is very good, and supports extensions of its document model to support things like embedded objects and Markdown, and is designed for collaborative editing -- all document operations are patches that can be sent over the network.

Cool, thanks for the pointer!

You'll want to add "cursor: hand;" to your CSS when someone hovers over the styling buttons. Because right now, it default to the cursor point, which doesn't given a clue to the user that the styling buttons are clickable.

Crash on IE 11/Win7 - http://i.imgur.com/WyJYKU8.png

Seems to work on IE10/Win7, but I don't get the auto-typing message I get in chrome.

On an Android, it does not let me select text (there is only one caret during edit). Is there some workaround / way to fix this?
