Textastic

Textastic is a powerful text editor for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS with syntax highlighting for over 80 programming and markup languages. Protocol Launcher allows you to generate deep links to open, create, and edit files in Textastic.

Usage

There are two ways to use this library:

• On-Demand import from subpaths enables tree-shaking and keeps bundles small.
• Full Import from the root package is convenient but includes all app modules.

Pick On-Demand for production builds; Full Import is fine for quick scripts or demos.
