Features

Editor features

• UNICODE support.
• Fully customizable lexer supports RegExp, so editor is suitable for any plane text format.
  
• Text folding, any determined text range or user range may be collapsed.
  
• "Line Changed" color indicator on gutter
  
• Normal, column-oriented and line selection, clipboard operations.
  
• Export to RTF, HTML file with syntax highlighting. Copy selection to clipboard in RTF.
  
• User ranges allows custom lexer independent highlighting and text folding.
  
• Stack-based markers like in CodeRush
  
• Animation allows to mark out some position in text.
  
• No last letter cutting (for italic fonts). This problem is present even in Delphi 2005 editor.

Highlighting features

• Highlighting styles can use any font.
  
• Text border styles.
  
• Syntax highlighting associated with simple lexical elements (tokens).

• Active highlighting depended on caret position. Highlights valid blocks (for example, current procedure, brackets, "begin" ... "end" blocks ...).
  
• Line highlighting associated with text ranges, caret position, gutter objects or custom.
  
• Powerful style merging (token style, text range style, dynamic style, …)
  
• Text partition by means of line separators like in Visual Basic IDE.
  
• Hierarchical text representation using block staples.

• Hiding parts of the text using Hidden attribute of the style.
