My application relies on a text editing facility (with syntax highlighting, code folding, bookmarks, etc.). At the moment, I am using QScintilla, but looking at the text editor in Qt Creator, I am wondering whether it wouldn't be better for me to use Qt Creator's text editor widget instead (main reason: stick to 'proper' Qt widgets).

So, I was wondering whether someone has ever had a go at re-using Qt Creator's text editor widget in their own program? If so, what has been your experience? What advice would you have? Etc.

Cheers, Alan.
