97 <a href="http://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaDoc.html">Scintilla</a> is a free source code editing component.
98 It comes with complete source code and a <a href="http://www.scintilla.org/License.txt">license</a> that
99 permits use in any free project or commercial product.
100 </p>
102 As well as features found in standard text editing components, Scintilla includes features
103 especially useful when editing and debugging source code.
104 These include support for syntax styling, error indicators, code completion and call tips.
105 The selection margin can contain markers like those used in debuggers to indicate
106 breakpoints and the current line. Styling choices are more open than with many editors,
107 allowing the use of proportional fonts, bold and italics, multiple foreground and background
108 colours and multiple fonts.
109 </p>
111 <a href="http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html">SciTE</a> is a SCIntilla based Text Editor. Originally built to
112 demonstrate Scintilla, it has grown to be a generally useful editor with facilities for
113 building and running programs. It is best used for jobs with simple configurations - I use it
114 for building test and demonstration programs as well as SciTE and Scintilla, themselves.
115 </p>
117 Development of Scintilla started as an effort to improve the text editor in PythonWin. After
118 being frustrated by problems in the Richedit control used by PythonWin, it looked like the
119 best way forward was to write a new edit control. The biggest problem with Richedit and other
120 similar controls is that they treat styling changes as important persistent changes to the
121 document so they are saved into the undo stack and set the document's dirty flag. For source
122 code, styling should not be persisted as it can be mechanically recreated.
123 </p>
125 Scintilla and SciTE are currently available for Intel Win32, OS X, and Linux compatible operating
126 systems with GTK+. They have been run on Windows XP, Windows 7, OS X 10.6+, and on Ubuntu 10.10
127 with GTK+ 2.20. <a href="http://www.scintilla.org/SciTEImage.html">Here is a screenshot of
