Documentation will hopefully eventually be found at http://tcllib.sourceforge.net/doc/ctext.html , but not yet.

'''Ctext''' is

   * part of [tklib].

   * a megawidget that is built upon the Tk text widget.  It provides syntax highlighting, and can be used to highlight a variety of languages.  It provides a simple API and more radical changes (other than color) can be made by modifying the tag attributes.  By default matching pairs of characters are flashed on the screen, like the popular Emacs and Lisp editors can do.  

   * licensed like Tcl (BSDish), but copyrighted

Anyone using this megawidget?  It would be wonderful if documentation in
[doctools] format might be written by those familar with it, so that
the doc might be added to [tklib].

[RLH] I would use it but I don't see it as part of [tklib] on [ActiveTcl] 8.4.6.1 nor do I find mention on the [tklib] sourceforge page.

[AK]: Both the tklib documentation page at [SourceForge] and the documentation of [tcllib]/[tklib] in [ActiveTcl] are based on [doctools]. As ctext has no doctools manpage it is not listed by neither of them :(. That does not mean that it is not present. A '''package require ctext''' should work. Also note that the wiki page for tklib does list it.

[schlenk] I have added a first try at ctext doctool documentation to the patch tracker of tcllib [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1172924&group_id=12883&atid=312883].
