## What it is
ContentTools is a JavaScript library for building WYSIWYG editors for HTML content, providing a fully functional page editor that can be embedded in any web page. It is written in CoffeeScript/SASS, distributed via npm, bower, and CDN, and MIT-licensed.

## Use cases
- embed a wysiwyg editor in a web page
- let non-technical users edit html content inline
- build a custom rich text editor for a cms
- add in-page content editing to an existing site
- customize and extend a browser-based html editor

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight, embeddable WYSIWYG editor for editing HTML pages
- you want a library you can customize or extend to build your own editing tools
- you need a proven MIT-licensed editor with existing API docs and tutorials

## When to avoid
- you need a modern framework-integrated editor (e.g. React/Vue components) with active development
- you require cutting-edge features or frequent updates - the latest release is from 2022 and a 2.x roadmap is stalled
- you prefer editors written in modern JavaScript rather than CoffeeScript with a Grunt/Sass build
