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