-- This is a DUMMY FILE used for making LuaDoc for Views.

---
-- A Textadept view object.
-- Constants are documented in the fields they apply to.
-- While you can work with individual view instances, it is often useful to work with just the
-- global one.
-- Many of these functions and fields are derived from view-specific functionality of the
-- Scintilla editing component, and additional information can be found on the [Scintilla
-- website](https://scintilla.org/ScintillaDoc.html). Note that with regard to Scintilla-specific
-- functionality, this API is a _suggestion_, not a hard requirement. All of that functionality
-- also exists in [`buffer`](), even if undocumented.
-- Any view fields set on startup (e.g. in *~/.textadept/init.lua*) will be the default,
-- initial values for all views.

-- @field style_eol_filled (table)
--   Table of flags that indicate whether or not the background colors of styles whose characters
