+ \class QSyntaxHighlighter
+ \reentrant
+
+ \brief The QSyntaxHighlighter class allows you to define syntax
+ highlighting rules, and in addition you can use the class to query
+ a document's current formatting or user data.
+
+ \since 4.1
+
+ \ingroup text
+
+ The QSyntaxHighlighter class is a base class for implementing
+ QTextEdit syntax highlighters. A syntax highligher automatically
+ highlights parts of the text in a QTextEdit, or more generally in
+ a QTextDocument. Syntax highlighters are often used when the user
+ is entering text in a specific format (for example source code)
+ and help the user to read the text and identify syntax errors.
+
+ To provide your own syntax highlighting, you must subclass
+ QSyntaxHighlighter and reimplement highlightBlock().
+
+ When you create an instance of your QSyntaxHighlighter subclass,
+ pass it the QTextEdit or QTextDocument that you want the syntax
+ highlighting to be applied to. For example:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_gui_text_qsyntaxhighlighter.cpp 0
+
+ After this your highlightBlock() function will be called
+ automatically whenever necessary. Use your highlightBlock()
+ function to apply formatting (e.g. setting the font and color) to
+ the text that is passed to it. QSyntaxHighlighter provides the
+ setFormat() function which applies a given QTextCharFormat on
+ the current text block. For example:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_gui_text_qsyntaxhighlighter.cpp 1
+
+ Some syntaxes can have constructs that span several text
+ blocks. For example, a C++ syntax highlighter should be able to
+ cope with \c{/}\c{*...*}\c{/} multiline comments. To deal with
+ these cases it is necessary to know the end state of the previous
+ text block (e.g. "in comment").
+
+ Inside your highlightBlock() implementation you can query the end
+ state of the previous text block using the previousBlockState()
+ function. After parsing the block you can save the last state
+ using setCurrentBlockState().
+
+ The currentBlockState() and previousBlockState() functions return
+ an int value. If no state is set, the returned value is -1. You
+ can designate any other value to identify any given state using
+ the setCurrentBlockState() function. Once the state is set the
+ QTextBlock keeps that value until it is set set again or until the
+ corresponding paragraph of text is deleted.
+
+ For example, if you're writing a simple C++ syntax highlighter,
+ you might designate 1 to signify "in comment":
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_gui_text_qsyntaxhighlighter.cpp 2
+
+ In the example above, we first set the current block state to
+ 0. Then, if the previous block ended within a comment, we higlight
+ from the beginning of the current block (\c {startIndex =
+ 0}). Otherwise, we search for the given start expression. If the
+ specified end expression cannot be found in the text block, we
+ change the current block state by calling setCurrentBlockState(),
+ and make sure that the rest of the block is higlighted.
+
+ In addition you can query the current formatting and user data
+ using the format() and currentBlockUserData() functions
+ respectively. You can also attach user data to the current text
+ block using the setCurrentBlockUserData() function.
+ QTextBlockUserData can be used to store custom settings. In the
+ case of syntax highlighting, it is in particular interesting as
+ cache storage for information that you may figure out while
+ parsing the paragraph's text. For an example, see the
+ setCurrentBlockUserData() documentation.

+
+ To provide your own syntax highlighting, you must subclass
+ QSyntaxHighlighter and reimplement highlightBlock(). In your
+ reimplementation you should parse the block's \a text and call
+ setFormat() as often as necessary to apply any font and color
+ changes that you require. For example:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_gui_text_qsyntaxhighlighter.cpp 3
+
+ Some syntaxes can have constructs that span several text
