## Get/set the content
Get the content
```JavaScript
simplemde.value();
var val = simplemde.value();
```
Set the content
```JavaScript
simplemde.value("This text will appear in the editor");
```
## Working with forms
By listening to the `blur` function of codemirror you can ensure, that the value of the underlying textarea in your form always corresponds to the value of your SimpleMDE and vice versa.
```JavaScript
var textarea = $("#MyID");
var simplemde = new SimpleMDE({element: textarea[0]});
simplemde.value(textarea.text());
simplemde.codemirror.on("blur", function() {
textarea.text(simplemde.value());
});
```
## Configuration
- **autoDownloadFontAwesome**: If set to `true`, force downloads Font Awesome (used for icons). If set to false, prevents downloading. Defaults to `undefined`, which will intelligently check whether Font Awesome has already been included, then download accordingly.
