Question 1

How do I style Klipse code snippets to match my website's theme?

Accepted Answer

You can customize Klipse using CSS for both the plugin borders and CodeMirror themes. The README provides guidance on modifying classes like .CodeMirror and .klipse-container, and links to pre-made CodeMirror themes for quick styling.

Question 2

Does Klipse work with React or modern JavaScript frameworks?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Klipse supports JSX and React through specific selectors like selector_jsx and selector_react, allowing evaluation and rendering of React components directly in the browser, as shown in the configuration examples.

Question 3

Is Klipse safe to use on public blogs without risking server security?

Accepted Answer

Klipse runs code client-side, so it doesn't execute on your server, reducing security risks. However, be mindful of allowing arbitrary code that could affect user browsers, such as malicious scripts or excessive resource usage.

Question 4

Klipse vs CodePen: which is better for embedding interactive code examples?

Accepted Answer

Klipse is better for seamless, iframe-free integration into existing web pages with multi-language support and no server needed, while CodePen offers more social features and a standalone editor. Klipse excels in educational content where direct page embedding is key.

Question 5

How to make Klipse snippets interact with each other or share state?

Accepted Answer

You can use global JavaScript variables or set re_evaluate_all_snippets_on_change to true in the configuration, but this is basic compared to full state management systems, and the README cautions about dependencies.

Question 6

Can I add custom language support to Klipse if it's not listed?

Accepted Answer

No, Klipse doesn't provide an easy way to add new languages; it requires integrating a browser-based evaluator and modifying the plugin code, which is complex and not documented for end-users.
