Thanks for the useful example! I don't mind having to figure out stuff 
with KTextEditor,
because I'll probably use it instead of QTextEdit.

I did something with QSyntaxHighlighting, and I managed to do it very 
quickly,
because I only needed a few regular expressions.
But I'll probably also check out KateParts in the future, because it is 
very useful,
when appropriately used.

Thanks a lot,
