About:
gtksourceviewmm3 provides C++ wrappers for the gtksourceview3 library, enabling developers to integrate advanced text editing features like syntax highlighting and code folding into applications.

Syntax highlighting and language definition support
Buffer undo/redo management
Code folding and bracket matching
Print integration for source code

Use Cases:
