From rubygems

gem 'wysia'

Or use the last version

Run:

$ bundle install

Usage

Include the Javascript (wysihtm5) into your application.js:

//= require wysia.js

Include de css into your applications.css

@import "wysia.scss";

In your forms use the wysia_text_area helper

default usage

= form_for @user do |f|
  = f.wysia_text_area :about

Configuration

Available options:

• All the usual options for a text_area can be used.
• size: normal, small or mini. Affects the button size of the toolbar. normal is default.
• js: inline or yield. Yields the javascript to a block called :javascript or its placed inline. inline is default.

using the options:

= f.wysia_text_area :about, {:class => "shaded comment grey remark", :rows => 3, :id => "about_#{@user.id}_remark", :size => "small"}

1. If you use js: "yield" as option, the javascript is yielded to a block called :javascript. In your layout or view use:

yield :javascript

2. If you have multiple wysia_text_area elements in a single page, you need to provide a ID to the options to make sure they are distinguisable for the javascript.
