+The CCM Editor modul
+--------------------
+
+# Overview
+
+The CCM Editor modules provides a simple HTML editor written in TypeScript 
+for use in the backend of LibreCCM. TypeScript is super set of JavaScript. 
+Along with features from the newest versions ECMA Script standard which are not
+yet implemented by the browsers it also is a strongly typed programming 
+language. This helps to avoid some types of mistakes which can easily occur 
+For more information about TypeScript please
+refer to the the [TypeScript homepage](http://www.typescriptlang.org). 
+The TypeScript compiler (or better transpiler) creates JavaScript from 
+TypeScript.
+
+In addition to TypeScript this module also uses NPM as package manager for 
+JavaScript libraries and Grunt as a TaskRunner. To build this module
+you don't need to install any of these tools. 
+They are integrated
+into the build process of Maven by the 
+[frontend-maven-plugin](https://github.com/eirslett/frontend-maven-plugin).
+This plugin for Maven downloads and installs an local copy of NPM, invokes
+NPM to download the dependencies using NPM and calls Grunt to run the 
+TypeScript compiler.
+
+The editor uses the `contenteditable` attribute from HTML 5 also with several 
+other features. Modern browsers provide almost necessary basic funtions for
+an editor, this module only provides a UI for them. 
+
+Supported browsers are:
+
+* Mozilla Firefox (52 and later)
+* Google Chrome (58 and later)
+* Microsoft Edge (all versions)
+* Apple Safari (10 and later)
+* other based WebKit Browsers should also work (with recent versions of WebKit)
+
+# Integration into a bundle
+
+To integrate the editor into a bundle first declare a dependency to the 
+`ccm-editor` module in the `pom.xml` file of the bundle:
+
+    <dependency>
+        <groupId>org.libreccm</groupId>
+        <artifactId>ccm-editor</artifactId>
+        <version>${project.parent.version}</version>
+    </dependency>
+
+In the Maven module of bundle which generates the WAR part in add the following
+the to configuration of the `maven-war-plugin`:
+
+    ...
+    <build>
+        ...
+        <plugins>
+            <plugin>
+                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
+                <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
+                <configuration>
+                    <overlays>
+                        <overlay>
+                            <groupId>org.libreccm</groupId>
+                            <artifactId>ccm-editor</artifactId>
+                            <type>jar</type>
+                        </overlay>
+                        ...
+                    </overlays>
+                </configuration>
+                ...
+            </plugin>
+        </plugins>
+        ...
+    </build>
+    ...
+
+In the WAR module add a folder `ccm-editor` to the `src/main/webapp` folder 
+and create a file similar to the following one:
+
+    requirejs(["./ccm-editor",
+            "../node_modules/requirejs-domready/domReady!"],
+          function(editor, doc) {
+
+        editor.addEditor(".editor", {
+            "actionGroups": [
+                {
+                        "name": "blocks",
+                        "title": "Format blocks",
+                        "actions": [
+                            editor.FormatBlockAction
+                        ]
+                },
+                {
+                    "name": "format-text",
+                    "title": "Format text",
+                    "actions": [
+                        editor.MakeBoldAction,
+                        editor.MakeItalicAction,
+                        editor.MakeUnderlineAction,
+                        editor.StrikeThroughAction,
+                        editor.SubscriptAction,
+                        editor.SuperscriptAction,
+                        editor.RemoveFormatAction,
+                        editor.InsertExternalLinkAction
+                    ]
+                },
+                {
+                        "name": "insert-list",
+                        "title": "Insert list",
+                        "actions": [
+                            editor.InsertUnorderedListAction,
+                            editor.InsertOrderedListAction
+                        ]
+                },
+                {
+                    "name": "html",
+                    "title": "HTML",
+                    "actions": [editor.ToggleHtmlAction]
+                }
+            ],
+            "settings": {
+                "formatBlock.blocks": [
+                    {
+                        "element": "h3",
+                        "title": "Heading 3"
+                    },
+                    {
+                        "element": "h4",
+                        "title": "Heading 4"
+                    },
+                    {
+                        "element": "h5",
+                        "title": "Heading 5"
+                    },
+                    {
+                        "element": "h6",
+                        "title": "Heading 6"
+                    },
+                    {
+                        "element": "p",
+                        "title": "Paragraph"
+                    }
+                ]
+            }
+        });
+    });
+
+This will load the editor using `require.js` (the editor is provided as a 
+AMD JavaScript module) and call the wrapped function when the DOM tree is ready.
+The function calls the `addEditor` function from the editor module and applies
+the editor to all `textarea` elements with the class `.editor`. The parameter
+is a CSS selector which you can modify according to your needs.
+
+The editor is initialised with a configuration. The configuration is described
+at the [configuration](configuration.html) page. The editor itself has no 
+hardcoded functions. Instead all controls in its toolbar are provided as 
+(TypeScript) classes which can be added by the configuration. The editor 
+module provides several standard actions like formated block elements. Please
+refer to the [Standard Actions](actions.html) for more information about these
+actions.
