Integrate Ace Editor in CKEditor Source View

Integrate Ace Editor in CKEditor Source View

Have you ever wanted to have code highlighting and other advanced features in the CKEditor source view? Well, now you can! I've written up a script that will allow you to integrate any web based code editor into CKEditor's source view. It's extremely easy to do using my code. Simply set up a web page running your preferred source code editor in fullscreen mode and then use my script to inject it into the CKEditor. No more screwing around, just awesomeness in your editor!

disable-output-escaping is not supported in Firefox

CDATA concatenation

or: disable-output-escaping is not supported in Firefox

Recently I was working on generating XML documents to contain arbitrary text. Naturally I wanted to make things easy on myself by wrapping said arbitrary text with CDATA sections. It just so happens that the text in question contains CDATA tags and as everyone knows, CDATA sections can not be nested. After searching around the web and running into "answers" that were pure opinion on what XML is, is for, and should do, I still didn't have the simple answer to a common problem so I wrote it myself and posted it here.

Solution: Write javadoc style comments for jsdoc toolkit per standard practice. The rest can be easily automated.
