Embedding to your website is clearly shown on the website: http://ace.c9.io/#nav=embedding

Example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>ACE in Action</title>
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
    #editor { 
        position: absolute;
        top: 0;
        right: 0;
        bottom: 0;
        left: 0;
    }
</style>
</head>
<body>

<div id="editor">function foo(items) {
    var x = "All this is syntax highlighted";
    return x;
}</div>

<script src="/ace-builds/src-noconflict/ace.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
<script>
    var editor = ace.edit("editor");
    editor.setTheme("ace/theme/monokai");
    editor.getSession().setMode("ace/mode/javascript");
</script>
</body>
</html>

Cloud9 IDE

If your using the cloud9 IDE, you can download the editor via..

Github: git clone git://github.com/ajaxorg/ace.git
Bower: bower install --save git clone git://github.com/ajaxorg/ace.git

NOTE: you will need to build the project.

If you want to use the pre built ones use this instead: https://github.com/ajaxorg/ace-builds.git

Example Here's my setup for the ace-editor: https://ide.c9.io/anik786/cloud-9-sandbox

Unfortunately this wipes out everything else you might want to show.

@JohnnyBizzle: LoL, just change the css and remove the absolute.

I would hardly call ace-builds as built. Each feature is a separate file (such as autocomplete, etc). For language files, this is fine, but for every feature ?? Would be nice if there was a true "pre-built" version somewhere or a builder, or even instructions on how to "build" the pre-built stuff into a single js. Their builder is rather lazy with lots of **/*.js so the output is directed to the same messy structure as the input.

Here's where the snippet above comes from: github.com/ajaxorg/ace-builds/blob/master/editor.html
