 * For the plugins that I have, i would like to add a button to the quicktags toolbar.
 * How do I do this without editting quicktags.js ?
    Also is there a way to edit
   an existing button with a plugin?

 * Editing quicktags is fairly painless:

 * That requires manual editting of the file.
 * I would like to know if there is a way to do this using a plugin.
 * I’m asking this because I would like to add a button using my plugin.

 * Hi Ajay
    [http://ryanduff.net](http://ryanduff.net) the contactform Plugin uses
   quicktags and in the files of this plugin you can see “how”.
