Trigger events from outside (external save button)

[Maltretieren]

I want to build an external "Save" button. Is it possible to trigger an event (save) from outside, so the onSave hook gets fired?

You can do it like this:

$('#md').markdown({
    onShow: function(e) {
        var $md = e;
        $('#external-btn').on('click', function(e) {
            // trigger the hook
            $md.$options.onSave($md);
        });
    },
    onSave: function(e) {
        console.log('saving ...');
    }
});

Let me know if that works for you. :)

@lodev09 Just an FYI. I had the same requirement and used the sample provided and it works great. Thanks!
