macOS Text editor library

kikko088 · Nov 15, 2013

I search a way for create a little text editor for collapse and expand a portion of text (something like Xcode editor) I need it for create some HTML page (is for a personal app that I use for populate a database), which is the best way to do it?or there is same text editor library?

NSOutlineView?

Personally, I'd like to see someone use NSBrowser to make a folding text editor.

NSTextView in MacOS X, UITextView in iOS.

ok, for now I use NSTextView but I don't know how can I create a collapse method, I want to know if there is some library that do it or if you can give me some tips or a way for do it!

NSOutlineView has collapse/expand methods. I would probably start with that and customize it to be more suitable for text editing.

I find this library https://github.com/faceleg/ACEView that seems to be all I need, the problem is that I can't add it, I get an error, can you help me to add it on my project?

I add the framework from build/prod/release to my project
I copy ACEView folder on my project but I get an error: ACEView/ACERange.h is not found

Where is the mistake?
