Minimal Rich Text Editor With jQuery And FontAwesome - RichText

Just another jQuery implementation of the WYSIWYG rich text editor that uses Font Awesome Iconic Font for the editor icons. Licensed under the AGPL-3.0.

How to use it:

1. Load the required Font Awesome 4 or Font Awesome 5 iconic font:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/path/to/font-awesome.min.css" />

2. Load the richtext.min.css to style the editor.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="richtext.min.css">

3. Load JQuery library and the richtext.min.js at the end of the webpage.

<script src="/path/to/cdn/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="/path/to/jquery.richtext.min.js"></script>

4. Create a normal textarea element for the editor.

<textarea class="content" name="example"></textarea>

5. Calling the plugin will transform the textarea element into a basic WYSIWYG rich text editor.

$('.content').richText();

6. Customize the editor by overriding the following parameter options.

$('.content').richText({

  // text formatting
  bold: true,
  italic: true,
  underline: true,

  // text alignment
