Probably embedding is best, like codemirror. If you want to help out you could have a look at packaging requirejs, it seems like a useful package as it has a small api (compared to bootstrap, jquery or codemirror). Also much appreciated is writing the debian/copyright for bootstrap if we go for the embed route. """ (I haven't got round to doing anything on this front yet) Thanks, Thomas
