LucED is a text editor with a graphical X11 user interface. 

The principal aim of the LucED project is to develop a text editor with the 

following features:

  * A simple and minimalistic, but powerful user interface that is similar to 

    the NEdit text editor, but does not depend on Motif

  * Fast and responsive user interface: e.g. syntax highlighting is done in

    the background and does not freeze the user interface, special handling to 

    achieve fast keyboard repeat rates

  * No dependencies on high-level widget toolkits in order to minimise the 

    requirements for the runtime system and to support slow network connections

The following features are already implemented:

  

  * Embedded Lua programming language for scripting and configuration

  * Syntax highlighting configurable via PCRE regular expressions, similar to 

    the NEdit syntax highlighting but with the enhancement to use arbitrarily 

    nested patterns

  * Full unicode support (works with UTF-8 internally)

This README file belongs to a LucED development sandbox directory tree. 

For further information see the file 

   ./web/documentation.txt

There is also a section [Building in a development sandbox] in this 

file, that explains how to build LucED with the development sandbox.
