There are occasions when you may have to edit large wall of text from within your browser. When you are an Emacs user, you may want to edit such texts using your favorite editor. To accomplish this, following options are available to you: emacs_chrome , GhostText , It's All Text! , Textern , withExEditor . Of these, I like Textern and I recommend it. Consult the Textern help pages, and install the browser plugin and the native app. Once you have done that, hook up your Emacs with Textern as below:

Create a shell script, say emacsclient.sh , with the following contents

#!/bin/sh emacsclient -c -a "" -- "$@"

and configure the Textern plugin as below.

Now, whenever you invoke Textern to edit a HTML textarea, Emacs would start. Edit the text to your heart’s content, and use C-x # to exit Emacs and transfer the text content to your browser.

Happy Editing!
