38overview = """
39The wxEditor class implements a simple text editor using wxPython. You
40can create a custom editor by subclassing wxEditor. Even though much of
41the editor is implemented in Python, it runs surprisingly smoothly on
42normal hardware with small files.
43
44How to use it
45-------------
46The demo code (demo/wxEditor.py) shows how to use wxEditor as a simple text
47box. Use the SetText() and GetText() methods to set or get text from
48the component; these both use a list of strings.
49
50The samples/FrogEdit directory has an example of a simple text editor
51application that uses the wxEditor component.
52
53Subclassing
54-----------
55To add or change functionality, you can subclass this
56component. One example of this might be to change the key
57Alt key commands. In that case you would (for example) override the
58SetAltFuncs() method.
