    @class wxRichTextEvent

    This is the event class for wxRichTextCtrl notifications.

    @beginEventTable{wxRichTextEvent}
    @event{EVT_RICHTEXT_CHARACTER(id, func)}
        Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_RICHTEXT_CHARACTER event, generated when the user
        presses a character key. Valid event functions: GetFlags, GetPosition, GetCharacter.
    @event{EVT_RICHTEXT_DELETE(id, func)}
        Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_RICHTEXT_DELETE event, generated when the user
        presses the backspace or delete key. Valid event functions: GetFlags, GetPosition.
    @event{EVT_RICHTEXT_RETURN(id, func)}
        Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_RICHTEXT_RETURN event, generated when the user
        presses the return key. Valid event functions: GetFlags, GetPosition.
    @event{EVT_RICHTEXT_STYLE_CHANGED(id, func)}
        Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_RICHTEXT_STYLE_CHANGED event, generated when
        styling has been applied to the control. Valid event functions: GetPosition, GetRange.
    @event{EVT_RICHTEXT_STYLESHEET_CHANGED(id, func)}
        Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_RICHTEXT_STYLESHEET_CHANGING event, generated
        when the control's stylesheet has changed, for example the user added,
        edited or deleted a style. Valid event functions: GetRange, GetPosition.
    @event{EVT_RICHTEXT_STYLESHEET_REPLACING(id, func)}
        Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_RICHTEXT_STYLESHEET_REPLACING event, generated
        when the control's stylesheet is about to be replaced, for example when
        a file is loaded into the control.
        Valid event functions: Veto, GetOldStyleSheet, GetNewStyleSheet.
    @event{EVT_RICHTEXT_STYLESHEET_REPLACED(id, func)}
        Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_RICHTEXT_STYLESHEET_REPLACED event, generated
        when the control's stylesheet has been replaced, for example when a file
        is loaded into the control.
        Valid event functions: GetOldStyleSheet, GetNewStyleSheet.
    @event{EVT_RICHTEXT_CONTENT_INSERTED(id, func)}
        Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_RICHTEXT_CONTENT_INSERTED event, generated when
        content has been inserted into the control.
        Valid event functions: GetPosition, GetRange.
    @event{EVT_RICHTEXT_CONTENT_DELETED(id, func)}
        Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_RICHTEXT_CONTENT_DELETED event, generated when
        content has been deleted from the control.
        Valid event functions: GetPosition, GetRange.
    @event{EVT_RICHTEXT_BUFFER_RESET(id, func)}
        Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_RICHTEXT_BUFFER_RESET event, generated when the
        buffer has been reset by deleting all content.
        You can use this to set a default style for the first new paragraph.

    @class wxRichTextCtrl

    wxRichTextCtrl provides a generic, ground-up implementation of a text control
    capable of showing multiple styles and images.

    wxRichTextCtrl sends notification events: see wxRichTextEvent.

    It also sends the standard wxTextCtrl events wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_ENTER and
    wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_UPDATED, and wxTextUrlEvent when URL content is clicked.

    For more information, see the @ref overview_richtextctrl.

    @beginStyleTable
    @style{wxRE_CENTRE_CARET}
           The control will try to keep the caret line centred vertically while editing.
           wxRE_CENTER_CARET is a synonym for this style.
    @style{wxRE_MULTILINE}
           The control will be multiline (mandatory).
    @style{wxRE_READONLY}
           The control will not be editable.
