Thank you for your page.st file. It works.

I had a bit trouble until I figured out the following:

  1. *.js files have to be below static/js/. Otherwise they are not executed.
  2. Get one of the src directories from https://github.com/ajaxorg/ace-builds/ and copy them below static/js/. In my case static/js/src-min/. Then change line 61 to read <script src="$base$/js/src-min/ace.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
