//! \brief The QextScintillaLexer class is an abstract class used as a base for
//! specific language lexers.
//!
//! A Scintilla 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 specific language 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.
//!
//! QextScintillaLexer provides convenience methods for saving and restoring
//! user preferences for fonts and colours.
