Talk:Scintilla (software)

Not encyclopedic
Smacks of a vanity page. There's a good chance that this isn't encyclopædic. Twin Bird 20:43, 19 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Why does it "smack" of vanity? There was a link to this page, so i created it (i have no connection to the project). Also, maybes you should add some constructive criticism rather than your own personal opinion.


 * Twin Bird is right. This page reads like a short advertisement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.46.94.94 (talk) 21:35, 8 May 2018 (UTC)


 * I got to this page because I remembered seeing(or using?) the software back in the early 2000s, so the sole fact this page exists certainly helped sate my curiosity. Can't comment much on the way it is written though. Sitagi (talk) 21:46, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

Introduction Paragraph
"SciTE (cross-platform) and Notepad++ (Windows) are standalone editors based on Scintilla." Is this sentence necessary in the introduction paragraph? If not, I think its removal would make the text flow better.--Eleman (talk) 08:36, 17 October 2008 (UTC)


 * The flow needs work, but it's mainly for a few applications that the component is notable. Tedickey (talk) 09:59, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Notepad++ regular expression support
The section Features says:

«Furthermore, the regular expression search implementation is rudimentary, and the numerous shortcomings have been known for years and affect the performance of dependent editor projects (e.g. Notepad++) »

Notepad++ release 6 introduced PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular Expressions) support.

I'm not sure whether this means that Notepad++ has swapped Scintilla's standard regular expression support for PCRE, has expanded it, supports both, or there's changes to Scintilla's regular expression support (as well). --Ohedland (talk) 09:00, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
