# Code plugin

This plugin adds a toolbar button that allows a user to edit the HTML code hidden by the WYSIWYG view. It also adds the menu item `Source code` under the `Tools` menu.

## Basic setup

```js
tinymce.init({
  selector: 'textarea',  // change this value according to your HTML
  plugins: 'code',
  toolbar: 'code',
  menubar: 'tools'
});
```
