//! \brief The QsciLexer class is an abstract class used as a base for language
//! lexers.
//!
//! A lexer scans the text breaking it up into separate language objects, e.g.
//! keywords, strings, operators.  The lexer then uses a different style to
//! draw each object.  A style is identified by a style number and has a number
//! of attributes, including colour and font.  A specific language lexer will
//! implement appropriate default styles which can be overriden by an
//! application by further sub-classing the specific language lexer.
//!
//! A lexer may provide one or more sets of words to be recognised as keywords.
//! Most lexers only provide one set, but some may support languages embedded
//! in other languages and provide several sets.
//!
//! QsciLexer provides convenience methods for saving and restoring user
//! preferences for fonts and colours.
//!
//! If you want to write a lexer for a new language then you can add it to the
//! underlying Scintilla code and implement a corresponding QsciLexer sub-class
//! to manage the different styles used.  Alternatively you can implement a
//! sub-class of QsciLexerCustom.
