About Acelerator
From the official readme · v0.1Description
Add ace editor to any textarea in admin.
Works with other plugins. Initially tuned to support ‘CUSTOM CSS-JS-PHP’ plugin, but far from being limited to it only.
Uses jQuery selectors-like syntax for tuning.
Selectors
The script will look for occurences of selectors (separate with “|”) and turn them into ace editors.
Syntaxes
The script will look for occurences of selectors (separate with “|”) and will pick the first existing occurence to define the language syntax for ace editor instances on this page. I.e., h4:contains(‘CSS Code’)@css means it will set the ace editor’s syntax to “css” if the page has h4 which contains text “CSS Code”.
CSS
Additional CSS for ace editor holder.
