  CodeMirror is a versatile text editor implemented in JavaScript for
  the browser. It is specialized for editing code, and comes with over
  100 language modes and various addons that implement more advanced
  editing functionality. Every language comes with fully-featured code
  and syntax highlighting to help with reading and editing complex code.
  
  A rich programming API and a CSS theming system are available for
  customizing CodeMirror to fit your application, and extending it with
  new functionality.
  
  You can find more information (and the
  [manual](https://codemirror.net/doc/manual.html)) on the [project

  ### Installation
  
  Either get the [zip file](https://codemirror.net/codemirror.zip) with
  the latest version, or make sure you have [Node](https://nodejs.org/)
  installed and run:
  
      npm install codemirror
  
  **NOTE**: This is the source repository for the library, and not the
  distribution channel. Cloning it is not the recommended way to install
  the library, and will in fact not work unless you also run the build
  step.
  
  ### Quickstart
  
  To build the project, make sure you have Node.js installed (at least version 6)
  and then `npm install`. To run, just open `index.html` in your
  browser (you don't need to run a webserver). Run the tests with `npm test`.
