Hi,

I want to start an application with a text editor that provides a specific 
syntax highlighting, as the application is only going to support a specific 
type of files (MediaWiki). Then I plan to build some features (auto-complete, 
etc.) on top of it.

Not to reinvent the wheel, I wanted to reuse Kate’s text edition widget. I’ve 
actually been working on improving the MediaWiki syntax highlighting support in 
Kate, so reusing that work for my app would be ideal.

So I found myself copying and pasting the code in 
http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Using_KParts

Now I have a working KatePart. But I have no idea whatsoever about interacting 
with it from code (such as getting an instance of KateDocument). Any 
recommendation that puts me in the right direction to set the KatePart syntax 
highlighting from code?

Also, I want to manually define the context-menu items and any other actions in 
the interface, so I’m not calling createGUI(m_part). Most KatePart actions I 
don’t want to provide, so is KatePart the right choice for me nonetheless? Or 
is there another way (without kparts) of reusing Kate’s text edition widget 
that fits my use case better?

Many thanks,
Adrian
