This is the CodeMirror editor packaged for the Mozilla Project. CodeMirror
is a JavaScript component that provides a code editor in the browser. When
a mode is available for the language you are coding in, it will color your
code, and optionally help with indentation.

# Upgrade

Currently used version is 3.15. To upgrade, download a new version of
CodeMirror from the project's page [1] and replace all JavaScript and
CSS files inside the codemirror directory [2].

To confirm the functionality run mochitests for the following components:

 * sourceeditor
 * scratchpad
 * debugger
 * styleditor

The sourceeditor component contains imported CodeMirror tests [3]. Some
tests were commented out because we don't use that functionality within
Firefox (for example Ruby editing mode). Other than that, we don't have
any Mozilla-specific patches applied to CodeMirror itself.

# Addons

To install a new CodeMirror addon add it to the codemirror directory,
jar.mn [4] file and editor.js [5]. Also, add it to the License section
below.
