31 * \brief The KTextEditVT class provides a widget that is used to edit and display
32 * both plain and rich text with the additional function of being able to
33 * programmatically append VT100 formatted text. For example to display the output
34 * from console programs.
36 * This class can be used to display the output of VT100 formatted text with
37 * ANSI escape code - for example output from the command 'ls --color'.
39 * Only a very limited number of ansi escapes sequences will have an affect. Unrecognised
40 * ansi escape sequences will be ignored and not displayed. Patches are welcome to support
41 * more of the sequences.
43 * This output can be then be inserted at the current cursor position by calling
44 * insertVTText(string);
49 * insertVTText(QString("Hi") + QChar(08) + "ello");
52 * will insert the text "Hello" at the current character position.
53 * (Character 08 is the literal backspace character. Treated as equivalent to character 127)
