Textbook

This module provides a combination of CSS Styles, WYSIWYG settings, developer hooks, style guides, and well-designed CSS3 page templates to provide clean, accessible (seeking both 508 and WCAG 2.0 AA), and visually impressive styling. It does this in an attempt to help any theme provide consistent textbook styling for the production of online course materials without the need for advanced knowledge of CSS / HTML.

4.x branch

The version number is being aligned with the version of CKEditor currently in production which is 4.x. Textbook 1.x is for CKEditor 3.x as that is legacy at this point, it works but improvements to 4.x will not be backported.

4.x comes with substantial improvements over the 1.x branch running CK 3.6 so I highly recommend checking out the included make.example file if you have issues getting all the requirements and give it a shot. Make sure to use the versions listed in the make file for best results as the CKeditor you use should come packaged with the code mirror plugin.
