--- Regular expressions syntax ---
Starting from version 0.7.2 you can use regular expressions for searching
strings in the text. When replacing you can also use matched groups in the
replacement string.
If you don't know what regular expressions are, you should look at some other
documentation: Python, Perl and grep manuals are good places to start.
Special characters interpreted are '.' for any character, '\(' and '\)' to
tag parts of the match, '\1' .. '\9' to refer to tagged parts, '\<' to match
the start of a word, '\>' to match the end of a word, '\' as a quote
character, '[' and ']' to indicate a set of characters, ^ within a set to
complement the set, ^ outside a set to match the start of line, $ to match the
end of line, * to match 0 or more times, + to match 1 or more times.

--- FAQ ---
Q: How can I indent/unindent a block of code?
A: Select the code and press TAB/S-TAB.
Q: Can you add language XXX?
A: If the language is similar to a supported language (for example Java, C/C++,
C# are all using the same lexer): yes, for sure, you can do it by yourself.
If it is a completely different language it is a Scintilla issue and
somebody (maybe you) must write a lexer.
See: <www.scintilla.org/ScintillaDoc.html> for more information.

As you all know, developers don't like to write documentation :P (and my
english is not very good), so help in enhancing this is greatly appreciated.
