One thing missing almost completely from the Help Docs is a comprehensive guide/tutorial on using the Scintilla Gadget.

I think there are a few Scintilla experts in the PB Community - would you step-up and write a help doc that the rest of the PB'ers can understand?

That's probably because Scintilla is a 3rd parts software, just like regex. There are resources, elsewhere.
You just need to know the PB commands to access the features of these libs. How RegEx works, or how you can change the color of a Scintilla line is the same, whether you're using PB or C++

.... a lot of PB is actually third party libs :mrgreen:

The Scintilla Gadget is an integration, so to my mind it deserves some documentation on the PB side, in "PB Speak".

Or perhaps Fred could adopt GoScintilla and make it a formal part of PB.....

Scintilla library main description site like to the Scintilla homepage for further documentation. So this is the way to go I think....

Maybe there is a more advanced example code to be included in the 'Examples' folder, which could be linked in the docs.

I started doing it, but quickly lost interest.
