Trivia

Scintilla is a powerful, multi-platform, general purpose editing widget. It was developed by Neil Hodgson.
An example of Scintilla at work can be seen here.

Since version 1.47 Scintilla supports GTK+-2.x, GtkScintilla2 has been developed.
GtkScintilla2 is a wrapper for Scintilla, with the addition of some facilities that make Scintilla accessible via a real GTK2 API.

Also, there exists a python binding of Scintilla for Gtk+-1.x and pygtk-0.6.5.
It is named PyGtkScintilla, and it was made by Michele Campeotto.
