I'll put it into pseudo code to hopefully make it easier to understand.

IF the contents of 'iscontain' includes the phrase "editMode" THEN
   Set the text of the paragraph to the value of the textarea
   The text on the button is set to the String 'EDIT'
ELSE
   The value of the textarea is set to the contents of the paragraph
   The text on the button is set to the String 'DONE'
END IF

Change the boolean of the class name for the liItems element

Hope this is what you were looking for! :)
