Editing quickbook files is usually done with text editors both simple and
powerful. The following sections list the settings for some editors which can
help make editing quickbook files a bit easier.

[section:scite Scintilla Text Editor]

[:['Section contributed by Dean Michael Berris]]

The Scintilla Text Editor (SciTE) is a free source code editor for Win32 and X.
It uses the SCIntilla source code editing component.

[tip SciTE can be downloaded from [@http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html]]

You can use the following settings to highlight quickbook tags when
editing quickbook files.

```
qbk=*.qbk
lexer.*.qbk=props
use.tabs.$(qbk)=0
tab.size.$(qbk)=4
indent.size.$(qbk)=4
style.props.32=$(font.base)
comment.stream.start.props=[/
comment.stream.end.props=]
comment.box.start.props=[/
comment.box.middle.props=
comment.box.end.props=]
```
