Hi,

<I cut out the old mail, too long ;=)>

I think having accessors for things one really needs will make sense.

I already discovered yesterday evening we have some "indenter" and "style" accessors,
that works now again.

The same is there to get e.g. indentationBasedFolding/emptyLines/...

I don't think exposing some highlighting internals like keyword list (by name or all) \
is that bad, given we can't change that anyways without breaking all highlighting \
files around on the world.

And having an API at least avoids the hassle of reparsing the XML stuff, which really \
is not what one wants.

I think one needs to expose some more internals for other things KTextEditor \
requires, like getting the current active context to lookup the keywords active for \
it.

(I don't think we need to expose the context, but one will need to expose at least \
things like: keywords for current position, in which syntax definition we are here, \
...)

Greetings
Christoph
