Scintilla is a cross-platform source code editing component.

Scintilla 5.5.1 is now available from the scintilla.org web site.

This is a feature and fix release.

SCI_CUTALLOWLINE was added.

The font used for autocompletion lists can be set with SCI_AUTOCSETSTYLE.

On Win32, a bug was fixed that caused the cursor to flicker after some mouse action sequences.

A C++17 compiler is required to build Scintilla. Microsoft Visual C++ 2019, GCC 7.3, Clang 6.0, Xcode 14 Clang or newer will work. Some slightly older compilers may still work.

A list of changes is available on the history page.
https://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaHistory.html

Scintilla uses Mercurial (Hg) for source code control. The repository can be cloned with
hg clone http://hg.code.sf.net/p/scintilla/code scintilla

Thanks to the contributors of code and documentation and to the testers.

Scintilla is so great so I cannot stop loving it.

I am wondering whether we can develop a broswer-less Markdown viewer based on the codebase of Scintilla?  It just works as a child window as scintilla, and you can feed the markdown text into it, and it support select and copy operations.

If it can only support text, but with different font, size, color, that is also great. I do not want to use heavy browser to render .md file. I want an extremely lightweight one.

Is it possible?

Kevin

Markdown includes different-size headers which requires lines to have different heights. This is not supported by Scintilla.
