## Overview
|
||
|
|
lite is a lightweight text editor written mostly in Lua — it aims to provide
|
||
|
|
something practical, pretty, *small* and fast, implemented as simply as
|
||
|
|
possible; easy to modify and extend, or to use without doing either.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Customization
|
||
|
|
Additional functionality can be added through plugins which are available from
|
||
|
|
the [plugins repository](https://github.com/rxi/lite-plugins); additional color
|
||
|
|
themes can be found in the [colors repository](https://github.com/rxi/lite-colors).
|
||
|
|
The editor can be customized by making changes to the
|
||
|
|
[user module](data/user/init.lua).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Building
|
||
|
|
You can build the project yourself on Linux using the `build.sh` script
|
||
|
|
or on Windows using the `build.bat` script *([MinGW](https://nuwen.net/mingw.html) is required)*.
|
||
|
|
Note that the project does not need to be rebuilt if you are only making changes
|
||
|
|
to the Lua portion of the code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Contributing
|
||
|
|
Any additional functionality that can be added through a plugin should be done
|
||
|
|
so as a plugin, after which a pull request to the
|
||
|
|
[plugins repository](https://github.com/rxi/lite-plugins) can be made. In hopes
|
||
|
|
of remaining lightweight, pull requests adding additional functionality to the
|
||
|
|
core will likely not be merged. Bug reports and bug fixes are welcome.
