Scintilla is a free open source library that provides a text editing component function, with an emphasis on advanced features for source code editing. SciTE (cross-platform, developed by the same author), Geany (cross-platform), Notepad++ (Windows), Programmer's Notepad (Windows) and Notepad2 (Windows) are examples of standalone text editors based on Scintilla.

Features

Scintilla supports many features to make code editing easier in addition to syntax highlighting. The highlighting method allows the use of different fonts, colors, styles and background colors, and is not limited to fixed-width fonts. The control supports error indicators, line numbering in the margin, as well as line markers such as code breakpoints. Other features such as code folding and autocompletion can be added. The basic regular expression search implementation is rudimentary, but if compiled with C++11 support Scintilla can support the runtime's regular expression engine. Scintilla's regular expression library can also be replaced or avoided with direct buffer access.

Currently, Scintilla does not support right-to-left or boustrephedon languages.[3]

Scinterm is a version of Scintilla for the curses Text User Interface. It is written by the developer of the Textadept editor. Scinterm uses UTF-8 characters to support some of Scintilla's graphically oriented features, but some Scintilla features are missing because of the terminal environment's constraints.[4]

Other versions

  • QScintilla[6] - Qt port of Scintilla
  • wxScintilla[7] - wxWidgets-wrapper for Scintilla
  • Delphi wrappers:
    • TScintEdit[8] - part of Inno Setup.
    • TDScintilla[9] - simple wrapper for all methods of Scintilla.
    • TScintilla[10] - Delphi Scintilla Interface Component (as of 2009-09-02 00:00:00 UTC, this project is no longer under active development).
