# lite
|
|
|
|
|
|
A lightweight text editor written in Lua
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
lite is a lightweight text editor written mostly in Lua — it aims to provide
|
|
something practical, pretty, *small* and responsive, implemented as simply as
|
|
possible; easy to modify and extend, or to use without doing either.
|
|
|
|
## Get
|
|
Go to the **[releases](https://github.com/rxi/lite/releases/latest)** page to
|
|
download precompiled binaries for Windows and Linux. 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 provided `build.py`
|
|
script. 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.
