Prompt component-TextEdit with code highlighting for Qt 5

Question

Qt

Hello!

Thinking about approaches to creating a new project (GPL-licensed cross-platform snippet manager), I was faced with the need for a good widget for editing a snippet with syntax highlighting of the most popular languages.

After spending a couple of hours searching, I got the following results:

1. QodeEdit Apparently a good library, but I didn't find any documentation for it at all, except for an example in the repository. I didn’t quite understand how to link it (during the assembly, .a and .dll are obtained, no .lib), or is it supposed to be so?

2. Qutepart Excellent library, good documentation, last commit 4 days ago. But why is the world so cruel? - it's written for PyQt, not C++/Qt. :(

3. QCodeEdit Apparently discontinued, and for a long time.

Are there any other alternatives, forks of these projects or something similar?

Thanks in advance for your reply!

Answer 1

There is also QScintilla . Latest version from 11/1/2013

Answer 2

Don't, don't use QScintilla. My github.com/tucnak/novile is much cooler , even though it pulls QtWebKit (it will pull QtWebEngine soon)
