 *  - \ref editor_commands
 *
 * \section editor_intro Introduction
 *
 * The Editor part can either be accessed through the static accessor Editor::instance()
 * or through the KParts component model (see \ref kte_design_part).
 * The Editor singleton provides general information and configuration methods
 * for the Editor, for example KAboutData by using aboutData().
 *
 * The Editor has a list of all opened documents. Get this list with documents().
 * To create a new Document call createDocument(). The signal documentCreated()
 * is emitted whenever the Editor created a new document.
 *
 * \section editor_config Editor Configuration
 *
 * The config dialog can be shown with configDialog().
 * Instead of using the config dialog, the config pages can also be embedded
 * into the application's config dialog. To do this, configPages() returns the
 * number of config pages that exist and configPage() returns the requested
 * page. The configuration are saved automatically by the Editor.
 *
 * \note It is recommended to embed the config pages into the main application's
 *       config dialog instead of using a separate config dialog, if the config
 *       dialog does not look cluttered then. This way, all settings are grouped
 *       together in one place.
 *
 * \section editor_commands Command Line Commands
 *
 * With Commands it is possible to add new commands to the command line.
 * These Command%s then are added to all document View%s.
 * Common use cases include commands like \e find or setting document variables.
 * The list of all registered commands can be obtained either through commandList()
 * or through commands(). Further, a specific command can be obtained through
 * queryCommand(). For further information, read the Command API documentation.
