# CodeMirror: Indented wrapped line demo

<!doctype html> <body> <h2 id="overview">Overview</h2> <p>CodeMirror is a code-editor component that can be embedded in Web pages. The core library provides <em>only</em> the editor component, no accompanying buttons, auto-completion, or other IDE functionality. It does provide a rich API on top of which such functionality can be straightforwardly implemented. See the <a href="#addons">add-ons</a> included in the distribution, and the <a href="https://github.com/jagthedrummer/codemirror-ui">CodeMirror UI</a> project, for reusable implementations of extra features.</p> <p>CodeMirror works with language-specific modes. Modes are JavaScript programs that help color (and optionally indent) text written in a given language. The distribution comes with a number of modes (see the <a href="../mode/"><code>mode/</code></a> directory), and it isn't hard to <a href="#modeapi">write new ones</a> for other languages.</p> </body>

This page uses a hack on top of the `"renderLine"` event to make wrapped text line up with the base indentation of the line.
