<div class="textblock"><h2>Introduction</h2>
<p><a href="http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/qscintilla/">QScintilla</a> is a port to Qt of the <a href="http://www.scintilla.org/">Scintilla</a> editing component.</p>
<p>As well as features found in standard text editing components, Scintilla includes features especially useful when editing and debugging source code:</p>
<ul>
<li>
syntax styling with support for over 70 languages </li>
<li>
error indicators </li>
<li>
code completion </li>
<li>
call tips </li>
<li>
code folding </li>
<li>
margins can contain markers like those used in debuggers to indicate breakpoints and the current line. </li>
<li>
recordable macros </li>
<li>
multiple views </li>
<li>
printing. </li>
</ul>
<p>QScintilla is a port or Scintilla to the Qt GUI toolkit from <a href="http://www.qt.io">The Qt Company</a> and runs on any operating system supported by Qt (eg. Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS and Android). QScintilla works with Qt v4 and v5.</p>
<p>QScintilla also includes language bindings for <a href="https://www.python.org">Python</a>. These require that <a href="https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/">PyQt</a> v4 or v5 is also installed.</p>
<p>This version of QScintilla is based on Scintilla v3.10.1.</p>
<h2>Licensing</h2>
<p>QScintilla is available under the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html">GNU General Public License v3</a> and the Riverbank Commercial License.</p>
<p>The commercial license allows closed source applications using QScintilla to be developed and distributed. At the moment the commercial version of QScintilla is bundled with, but packaged separately from, the commercial version of <a href="http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/">PyQt</a>.</p>
<p>The Scintilla code within QScintilla is released under the following license:</p>

TORTIOUS ACTION, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE
OR PERFORMANCE OF THIS SOFTWARE.
</pre><h2>Installation</h2>
<p>As supplied QScintilla will be built as a shared library/DLL and installed in the same directories as the Qt libraries and include files.</p>
<p>If you wish to build a static version of the library then pass <code>CONFIG+=staticlib</code> on the <code>qmake</code> command line.</p>
<p>If you want to make more significant changes to the configuration then edit the file <code>qscintilla.pro</code> in the <code>Qt4Qt5</code> directory.</p>
<p>If you do make changes, specifically to the names of the installation directories or the name of the library, then you may also need to update the <code>Qt4Qt5/features/qscintilla2.prf</code> file.</p>
<p>See your <code>qmake</code> documentation for more details.</p>
<p>To build and install QScintilla, run:</p>
<pre>
cd Qt4Qt5
qmake
make
make install
</pre><p>If you have multiple versions of Qt installed then make sure you use the correct version of <code>qmake</code>.</p>
<p>The underlying Scintilla code may support additional compile-time options. These can be configured by passing appropriate arguments to <code>qmake</code>. For example, if you have an old C++ compiler that does not have a working <code>std::regex</code> then invoke <code>qmake</code> as follows:</p>
<pre>
qmake DEFINES+=NO_CXX11_REGEX=1
</pre><h3>Installation on Windows</h3>
<p>Before compiling QScintilla on Windows you should remove the <code>Qsci</code> directory containing the QScintilla header files from any previous installation. This is because the <code>Makefile</code> generated by <code>qmake</code> will find these older header files instead of the new ones.</p>
<p>Depending on the compiler you are using you may need to run <code>nmake</code> rather than <code>make</code>.</p>
<p>If you have built a Windows DLL then you probably also want to run:</p>
<pre>
copy %QTDIR%\lib\qscintilla2.dll %QTDIR%\bin
</pre><h2>Integration with <code>qmake</code></h2>
<p>To configure <code>qmake</code> to find your QScintilla installation, add the following line to your application's <code>.pro</code> file:</p>
<pre>
CONFIG += qscintilla2
</pre><h2>Example Application</h2>
<p>The example application provided is a port of the standard Qt <code>application</code> example with the <a class="el" href="classQsciScintilla.html" title="The QsciScintilla class implements a higher level, more Qt-like, API to the Scintilla editor widget...">QsciScintilla</a> class being used instead of Qt's QTextEdit class.</p>
<p>The example does not demonstrate all of the extra features of QScintilla.</p>
<p>To build the example, run:</p>
<pre>
cd example-Qt4Qt5
qmake
make
</pre><p>On Windows (and depending on the compiler you are using) you may need to run <code>nmake</code> rather than <code>make</code>.</p>
<h2>Python Bindings</h2>
<p>The Python bindings are in the <code>Python</code> directory. You must have either PyQt v4 or v5 already installed. QScintilla must also already be built and installed.</p>
<p>The configure, build and install the bindings for PyQt v4, run:</p>
<pre>
python configure.py
make
make install
</pre><p>On Windows (and depending on the compiler you are using) you may need to run <code>nmake</code> rather than <code>make</code>.</p>
<p>If you want to build the bindings for PyQt v5 then pass <code>–pyqt=PyQt5</code> as an argument to <code>configure.py</code>.</p>
<p><code>configure.py</code> supports a number of other arguments. Pass <code>-h</code> to display a list of the supported arguments.</p>
<p><code>configure.py</code> was re-written for QScintilla v2.7.1 to make use of new features of PyQt v4.10. The old version is still provided as <code>configure-old.py</code>. The new <code>configure.py</code> will automatically invoke <code>configure-old.py</code> if it detects a version of PyQt earlier than v4.10. You may of course explicitly run <code>configure-old.py</code>.</p>
<h2>Qt Designer Plugin</h2>
<p>QScintilla includes an optional plugin for Qt Designer that allows QScintilla instances to be included in GUI designs just like any other Qt widget.</p>
<p>To build the plugin on all platforms, make sure QScintilla is installed and then run (as root or administrator):</p>
<pre>
cd designer-Qt4Qt5
qmake
make
make install
</pre><p>On Windows (and depending on the compiler you are using) you may need to run <code>nmake</code> rather than <code>make</code>. </p>
