    <h1>TextEditor Control</h1>
    <p>The TextEditor Control is designed to:</p>
    <ul>
        <li>Provide very efficient and extensible syntax highlighting;</li>
        <li>Make your users able to use breakpoints, bookmarks, code folding, line number, smart indentation, etc. when they use your application;</li>
        <li>Give you more time to do stuff that actually needs focusing, instead of recreating a text editor all over again.</li>
    </ul>
    
    <p>Library dependencies:</p>
    <ul>
        <li>None</li>
    </ul>
    
    <h2>How to use the TextEditor Control?</h2>
    <p>Using the TextEditor Control is very, very simple - add a reference to the Storm.TextEditor library in your toolbox, and drag-drop a
TextEditor onto your application. Then you can set it up in the designer via its properties. However, to set its syntax highlighting mode, 
you must use a line of code:</p>

    <pre class="csharpcode">
        textEditor.SetHighlighting(SyntaxLanguage.vJass);
    </pre>
    
    <p>The TextEditor has functions for opening, saving, cut, copy, paste, undo, redo, etc., so you can use those when you need to.</p>
