 Overview
lite is a lightweight text editor written mostly in Lua — it aims to provide
something practical, pretty, small and fast, implemented as simply as
possible; easy to modify and extend, or to use without doing either.

 Customization
Additional functionality can be added through plugins which are available from
the plugins repository; additional color
themes can be found in the colors repository.
The editor can be customized by making changes to the
user module.

 Building
You can build the project yourself on Linux using the build.sh script
or on Windows using the build.bat script (MinGW is required).
Note that the project does not need to be rebuilt if you are only making changes
to the Lua portion of the code.

 Contributing
Any additional functionality that can be added through a plugin should be done
so as a plugin, after which a pull request to the
plugins repository can be made. In hopes
of remaining lightweight, pull requests adding additional functionality to the
core will likely not be merged. Bug reports and bug fixes are welcome.
