WysiBB is a jQuery visual WYSIWYG editor for BBcode. For more information please visit wysibb.com
NOTE, the original package https://github.com/wbb/wysibb is now distributed under different license, not allowing commercial use. This fork is MIT-licensed.
It also uses slightly different dialect of BBCode - the one that was originally implemented in PEAR_BBCode PHP package.

<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#editor").wysibb()
})
</script>
<textarea id="editor" name="editor_name">My text</textarea>To see how it works, you can try the official demo.
WysiBB comes with all BBCodes by default (allButtons). You can configure BBCode you want.
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
var wbbOpt = {
buttons: "bold,italic,underline,|,img,link,|,code,quote"
}
$("#editor").wysibb(wbbOpt);
});
</script>WysiBB comes in russian by default, but you can set a different language

});
</script>(languages available: Arabic (ar), Chinese (cn), English (en), French (fr), Polish (pl), Turkish (tr), Vietnamese (ci) & Spanish (es))
You can assign any keyboard shortcuts for BBcode. By default WysiBB set some hotkeys. You can add or change their combinations for existing BBcodes. Consider hook up hotkeys for example.
var wbbOpt = {
allButtons: {
img: {
hotkey: "ctrl+shift+5"
},
link: {
hotkey: "ctrl+shift+k"
}
}
}
$("#editor").wysibb(wbbOpt);Note that certain key combinations are already used by browsers, so they might not work.
var wbbOpt = {
hotkeys: false, //disable hotkeys (native browser combinations will work)
showHotkeys: false //hide combination in the tooltip when you hover.
}
$("#editor").wysibb(wbbOpt);You can set custom BBcode transformation, or add your own BBCodes
var wbbOpt = {
buttons: "bold,italic,underline,|,img,link,|,code,myquote",
allButtons: {
code: {
transform: {
'<div class="mycode"><div class="codetop">This program code:</div><div class="codemain">{SELTEXT}</div></div>':'[code]{SELTEXT}[/code]'
}
},
myquote: {
title: 'Insert a quote',
buttonText: 'myquote',
transform: {
'<div class="myquote">{SELTEXT}</div>':'[myquote]{SELTEXT}[/myquote]'
}
}
}
}
$("#editor").wysibb(wbbOpt);In this configuration by using the buttons we described what BBcodes will be connected to our editor. I want to note that this option was added at once and our own BBcode myquote.
Later, using the parameter allButtons, we have changed the conclusion BBcode code and added our own, describing its title (tooltip when you hover), buttonText (text button in the toolbar).
{SELTEXT} - is the only predefined parameter.
See the documentation for more features like Sophisticated BBCodes, handlers, modal window with tabs, ...
WysiBB supports modern browsers, including Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera & IE8+.
It also works fine on modern smartphone & tablet browsers.
