Look at KTextEditor and its apidox. If in doubt grep for it in KDevplat=
form to=20
see how its being used.

You can use KTextEditor::Editor::createDocument (e.g. from=20
KTextEditor::Factory) and then create a view for that document. Regardi=
ng=20
filtering of context menu items, I'm not sure anymore whether there is=20=

anything being added automatically. If so and you cannot find a way to=20=

circumvent that, feel free to contact us on kwrite-devel and we'll find=
 a way=20
to solve this.

Cheers
