Installation tips
[edit]- SetupEditor() is called automatically and has not to be added to a window.onload function
- The configuration parts are optional and can be omitted
- If you already use User:Pilaf/livepreview.js then you should not call its installation routine LivePreviewInstall()
- Do not forget to flush your cache after installation (hold down Shift while clicking Reload or press Ctrl-Shift-R).
