README
Welcome to ReText!
==================
[![GitHub Actions status][GitHub Actions SVG]][GitHub Actions]
ReText is a simple but powerful editor for markup languages. It is based on
[Markups] module which supports Markdown, reStructuredText, Textile and
AsciiDoc. One can also add support for [custom markups] using Python modules.

To install ReText, make sure that you have [Python] (3.9 or later) installed,
and run `pip3 install ReText`. To avoid system-wide installation, you can
create a [virtual environment] and install from there. You can also manually
download the tarball from [PyPI] or clone the repository, and then run
`./retext.py`.
ReText requires [PyQt6] and [Markups] (4.0 or later) to run. When you run
`pip3 install ReText`, pip will install them automatically, but you can also
install manually and specify markups that you are going to use using extras
syntax, e.g.:
pip3 install Markups[markdown,restructuredtext,textile]
We also recommend having these packages installed:
* [pyenchant](https://pypi.org/project/pyenchant/) — for spell checking support
* [chardet](https://pypi.org/project/chardet/) — for encoding detection support
* [PyQt6-WebEngine](https://pypi.org/project/PyQt6-WebEngine/) — a more
powerful preview engine with JavaScript support
Translation files are already compiled for release tarballs and will be
automatically loaded. For development snapshots, compile translations using
`lrelease ReText/locale/*.ts` command (on Debian-based systems, use
`/usr/lib/qt6/bin/lrelease` from `qt6-l10n-tools` package). Translation files
can also be loaded from `/usr/share/retext/` directory.
You can translate ReText into your language on [Transifex].
