Overview

Adding rich text editing to a web application usually means choosing between heavy toolkits and fragile custom code. Quill is a modern WYSIWYG rich text editor library that gives developers a dependable editing surface, with a clean API and support for custom formats and modules. You create an editor by pointing Quill at a container element in your page, then select a theme such as snow or bubble. It can be installed from npm or loaded from a CDN, and a core build without themes or non-essential modules is available for smaller bundles. The project is maintained by Slab and released under the BSD-3-Clause license. Quill suits front-end developers building comment fields, note-taking features, content management screens and other places where users write formatted text. Its live playground and documentation help teams evaluate it quickly.

/>

<!-- Create the toolbar container -->
<div id="toolbar">
  <button class="ql-bold">Bold</button>
  <button class="ql-italic">Italic</button>
</div>

<!-- Create the editor container -->
<div id="editor">
  <p>Hello World!</p>
  <p>Some initial <strong>bold</strong> text</p>
  <p><br /></p>
</div>

<!-- Include the Quill library -->
