Codeeditor_XH provides a replacement for the simple textarea in CMSimple_XH's back-end to edit the template, the stylesheet and the plugin stylesheets. Furthermore it implements the editor interface of CMSimple_XH 1.5.2 (and up), so it can be used to edit the content of the website.
Instead of being a WYSIWYG or WYSIWYM editor, it allows to edit the source code directly, and offers syntax highlighting, line numbering, code indenting and folding, bracket matching, optional line wrapping, filebrowser integration and search and replace.
Please do read this documentation, before you encounter any problems!
The current version of Codeeditor_XH is a release candidate. Use with caution!
