enable editing in Medium Editor

Question

I want to use Medium Editor for inline editing. On one page it's working. However on another page I want the editor to be disabled at the beginning, as the text is normally only for reading. It's disabled with disableEditing: true when initializing the editor.

However I can't enable it again. I found nothing about changing the settings afterwards and whatever I tried, nothing worked.

var helpeditor = new MediumEditor("#htext", {
  extensions: {
    "autolist": autolist
  },
  toolbar: {
    buttons: ["bold", "italic", "underline", "unorderedlist", "orderedlist", "justifyLeft", "justifyCenter"]
  },
  disableEditing: true
});

From the documentation it doesn't look like that library supports changing properties after initialisation. You'd need to destroy() the existing instance and create a new one which does allow editing.

Alternatively, use a better library which meets all your needs.
