Ace ‘Editor in the Browser’ – Documentation
The documentation for Ace – where is it ?
Summary
The Ace documentation isn’t that hard to find but you do need to know where to look
Ace in the hole
The Ace project provides a customizable, embeddable code editor for web applications. It’s written solely in JavaScript and is really very impressive.
You can see it in action at their demo page (which frankly is a bit bare bones) or at the Cloud9 project for which Ace is the starting point.
Documentation is where ?
You can download the Ace distribution from https://github.com/ajaxorg/ace – you need the ‘Downloads’ button at the top right.
Once you’ve done that you’ll find there’s nothing worth reading in the docs folder within the distribution.
Instead what you need to do is go visit the Ace wiki at Github. It took me a while to work this out (with the help of the Ace user group forum) so I hope it will save some others the trouble.
