Used technologies

Trolledit is a desktop application based on multiplatform Qt framework. Basically TrollEdit is an enhanced text editor developed as a real market product. It's strongest feature is based on graphical text enrichment based on semantically analyzed file content.

The core functionality of TrollEdit is based on the use of LPeg pattern matching library. Using this library we are able to parse source code according to its grammar into an abstract syntactic tree (AST). This data is then used to enhance the text visualization and so we are able to parse the content on any open file assuming that we have a matching language grammar.
