Good to know:

The component creates a global variable called window.papercache {Object} used by all j-Paper instances.

• the component compares the content when you change data, so you can change data in real-time
• the component assigns (in the form) paper-yourwidgetname class to every widget element
• reserved HTML classes readonly, widget, selected
  • readonly usage: .readonly .paper-yourwidgetname { ... }
• htmlelement.$widget {Object} contains a widget instance
  • widget.remove() method will remove the widget

Shortcuts in text edit:

• CMD + m highlights text
• CMD + l creates a link
• CMD + p adds an icon

Good to know:
