SynEdit is an advanced multi-line edit control, for Borland Delphi and Kylix (C++Builder mostly works, but is unsupported). It supports syntax highlighting, word-wrapping, code completion, template components, and exporters for HTML, TeX and RTF.

enter image description here

It is a pure-VCL/CLX control, meaning it is not a wrapper for Microsoft Windows controls and so no run-time library is required.

Compatibility with FreePascal / Lazarus is planned, and the editor in the Lazarus IDE is indeed a SynEdit-port, but based on the 1.1 version and with some additions. SynEdit is packaged together with highlighter components which are used to syntax highlight many programming languages source code. See State of Development.
