text editor with custom features
Message 1 in thread
hello,
give me some pointers on how to make a simple text editor with:
o current line highlighter
o line numbers at right or left
last priority but desirable
o probably some faster syntax highlighting
thanks

Sorry I can't seem to find any of what I'm looking for, except syntax
highlight.
In practice the syntax highlighting is kind of slow on files, that is
why I was asking for hints to make it more acceptable in terms of speed.
thanks

hi,
just came to me this, probably it will be good if trolls will extend or
make more powerful current QTextEdit so it can be used as a
simple text editor, or if one needs to inherit and make fully custom by
reimplementing proctected metdos.
Why there is a lack in features:
1. have seen many struggling to add them in different ways: qtscntilla,
QsvEditorBeta, some apps from KDE, any many more to come.
2. there is this qt4-preview that has the coolest thing to come - fixed
SSL and Webkit. In webkit there will be a need for a SGML
editors, so to not provide them only for SGML, QTextEdit may be
empowered to take care of that.
A powerful and practical editors seems to be an unfixed area as was till
now the requests for a
web-rendering engine that can be smoothly used with QT, because all
others were too messy, starting from
hard to support mozilla's srouce code to some less portable proprietary
renderers.
By the way this will help to boost the entrance of the QT-tanks :) into
the area of the office applications.
QTextEdit needs to be fast in parsing and highlighting, and very
powerful when it needs to be customizable and extendable.

But QT is not an application.. it's a framework.
And QTextEdit is supposed to be lightweight... It was much lighter
weight in QT 3.. but I digress.
To me, having a text editor that can be embedded into dialogs and into
QMainWindow's is great... If I want a true Editor, with line numbers and
such, I figure I'm on my own, and I may or may not use the provided
classes as a base.
