Scintilla (editing component)
Scintilla is an open source library that provides text-editing functions, with an emphasis on advanced features for source code editing. SciTE (cross-platform), Notepad++ (Windows) and Notepad2 (Windows) are standalone 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.
