Install Editor42

Editor42 is one editor with several ways in. Take the script if you have a page, the plugin if you run WordPress or ClassicPress, the package if you have a bundler or Composer, or the component for the framework you are already using — the editor and its options are the same in all of them, and none of them needs an account or an API key.
