Originally created by @ssddanbrown on GitHub (Oct 16, 2019).

Add the ability to set event listeners to customize core editor configs and instances.

Will need to document the listeners.
- Provide examples.
Will be unstable (Potential editor change in future). Ensure this is clear in documentation.

Will allow customization to TinyMCE editor and markdown codemirror/md-it instances without having to re-compile JS or edit base BookStack code. Will be able to use event listeners via custom head content.

Will leave this open until the docs are updated.

Sample code to log out all events added:

<script>
	window.addEventListener('editor-tinymce::pre-init', event => console.log('TINYMCE-PRE_INIT', event.detail));
	window.addEventListener('editor-tinymce::setup', event => console.log('TINYMCE-SETUP', event.detail));
	window.addEventListener('editor-markdown-cm::pre-init', event => console.log('MARKDOWN-CODEMIRROR-PRE_INIT', event.detail));
	window.addEventListener('editor-markdown::setup', event => console.log('MARKDOWN-EDITOR-SETUP', event.detail));
</script>
