## Initialize editor

Simply call `.richText()` on your `jQuery('textarea')` or `jQuery('input')` field (other HTML tags are allowed as well, but not recommended).


## Options

`.richText()` allows several options to be set, the default option object is:

```javascript
$(element).richText({

**Text formatting**
- `bold` (default: `(boolean) true`) :: Defines if the bold button should be displayed in the editor toolbar
- `italic` (default: `(boolean) true`) :: Defines if the italic button should be displayed
- `underline` (default: `(boolean) true`) :: Displays the underline button

**Fonts**
- `fonts` (default: `(boolean) true`) :: Enables font formatting
- `fontList` :: Array of allowed fonts. The fonts set by default are fonts which should work on Windows, Mac and Linux by default. Setting fonts manually will overwrite the array.
- `fontSize` (default: `(boolean) true`) :: Allows to use different font sizes

**Text alignment**
- `leftAlign` (default: `(boolean) true`)
- `centerAlign` (default: `(boolean) true`)
- `rightAlign` (default: `(boolean) true`)
- `justify` (default: `(boolean) true`)

**Lists**
- `ol` (default: `(boolean) true`) :: Ordered list
- `ul` (default: `(boolean) true`) :: Unordered list

**Titles**
- `heading` (default: `(boolean) true`)

**Colors**
- `fontColor` (default: `(boolean) true`)
- `colors` :: Set own colors for the editor. They will replace the default colors. Example:

```javascript
var colors;
colors["#FFFFFF"] = 'White';
colors["#000000"] = 'Black';
```

**Uploads/Files**
- `imageUpload` (default: `(boolean) true`)
- `fileUpload` (default: `(boolean) true`)

**Media/Videos**
- `videoEmbed` (default: `(boolean) true`) :: Simplify embedding videos from YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo and Dailymotion

**Links**
- `urls` (default: `(boolean) true`)

**Tables**
- `table` (default: `(boolean) true`)

**Code**
- `removeStyles` (default: `(boolean) true`) :: Allows to remove the CSS styles from the selection
- `code` (default: `(boolean) true`) :: Allows to display the raw HTML code

**Custom dropdowns**

Custom dropdowns allow to customize in a restricted way the dropdowns in the editor.

- `fileHTML` :: HTML string of the file dropdown. MUST include an input field (`select`, `input` or `textarea`) with the `id` equal to `fileURL`.
- `imageHTML` :: HTML string of the image dropdown. MUST include an input field (`select`, `input` or `textarea`) with the `id` equal to `imageURL`.

**Translations**

- `translations` :: An object of key-value entries allowing to set other texts/translations for the editor. The keys must stay the same as in the default translation object.

**Privacy settings**

- `youtubeCookies` (default: `(boolean) false`) :: If set to true, YouTube might set tracking cookies. By default (if the value is set to `false`), `youtube-nocookie.com` will be used to display YouTube videos.

**Developer settings**

- `useSingleQuotes` (default: `(boolean) false`) :: Replaces all double quotes from HTML attributes to single quotes, if set to `(boolean) true`.
- `height` (default: `(int) 0`) :: Sets a custom height for the editor frame and code view. The default value `0` uses the initial height set with CSS. To overwrite the height without using this setting (and without using inline CSS), use the CSS selectors `.richText .richText-editor` and `.richText .richText-initial` to change the height.
- `heightPercentage` (default: `(int) 0`) :: Sets a custom percentage height based on the editor's parent element. This won't work if the `height` option is used as well.
- `id` (default: `(string) ""`) :: Sets a custom ID for the editor
- `class` (default: `(string) ""`) :: Sets additional custom classes for the editor
- `useParagraph` (default: `(boolean) false`) :: Uses paragraph tags instead of div containers (browser default) when pressing ENTER, if set to `true`.
- `maxlength` (default: `(int) 0`) :: Defines a max length for the text (HTML length not considered!). The default value `0` doesn't define any limit

## Undo RichText

There's now the possibility to undo the RichText editor to the state before `.richText()` has been called.

For this to work, simply call `.unRichText()` on the initial textarea, on which `.richText()` has previously been called.

It is possible to delay `unRichText()` by a given amount of milliseconds with the parameter: `{delay: 2000}`. 

## FAQ

**How do I set the RichText value through jQuery? Using `.val()` doesn't work?**

The `change` event needs to be triggered, in order to update the value within RichText. 
Using `.val('Some text').trigger('change')` on your jQuery node will solve your issue.
