Detailed Description

Text editor widget with line numbers and support for STC markup.

Extends QPlainTextEdit with:

• loading and saving files (with encoding detection) and watching them for external changes,
• tracking which lines differ from the originally loaded content,
• detection of code blocks (e.g. [cpp]...[/cpp]) in the document,
• whole-document syntax modes (STC, plain text, C++, Python, XML, JSON),
• context-menu actions, smart pasting (links, tables, rich text) and spelling suggestions.

Member Function Documentation

setSyntaxMode()

void CodeEditor::setSyntaxMode	(	SyntaxMode	mode,
		bool	rehighlightNow = true
	)

Switches the highlighting of the whole document.

Opening a file chooses the mode by its extension, this is what the "Syntax" menu calls to override it. rehighlightNow=false is for content which is about to be replaced.
