CodeMirror 2: Mode Runner Demo

Running a CodeMirror mode outside of the editor. The CodeMirror.runMode function, defined in lib/runmode.js takes the following arguments:

text (string)

The document to run through the highlighter.

mode (mode spec)

The mode to use (must be loaded as normal).

output (function or DOM node)

If this is a function, it will be called for each token with two arguments, the token's text and the token's style class (may be null for unstyled tokens). If it is a DOM node, the tokens will be converted to span elements as in an editor, and inserted into the node (through innerHTML).
