test post with new javascript editor

not new yet. trying to rebuild the javascript "editor" from scratch by first removing the parts that i don't need.

this is really not an editor. the formatting is done on the server. this browser-based javascript code packages the text and sends it as json to the server where it's formatted into html, and the server returns the formatted text back as json, which the "editor" displays.

i customized the original code a fair amount back in the summer/fall of 2013 by added splitscreen, save and preview buttons, auto-save, and some other display functions.

i removed the live textile preview that came with the original code. it was too distracting to me. and i prefer to let the server code format the text. that way the same javascript "editor" code can be used with all of my web publishing apps that provide different formatting functionality for various reasons.
