Write the document

Styles, lists, tables, images and links.

Built in styles: Normal, Heading 1 to 6, Title, Subtitle, Quote, Code, List Paragraph, Hyperlink and Table Grid. Changing the Heading 1 style changes every heading at once.
Lists with 9 levels: bullets, numbers, letters and roman numerals.
Tables with merged cells across columns and rows, header rows, borders, backgrounds and nested tables, plus inline images and hyperlinks with an OnLinkClick event.

Editing that feels familiar

The shortcuts and commands users already know.

Undo and redo with typing grouped into words, Ctrl+B, Ctrl+I, Ctrl+U, alignment, headings, bullets and Ctrl+K for links.
Find and replace, including regular expressions, with Replace All as one undo step.
Every command from code through ExecuteCommand and CommandState, and through VCL and FireMonkey actions, so a toolbar or a ribbon stays in sync with the selection. FireMonkey adds a touch mode with selection handles.

Data and platforms

Documents stored in your database.

TsgcVCLDBRichEdit and TsgcFMXDBRichEdit connect to a TDataSource, read memo and BLOB fields and write the document back when the user leaves the control.
FieldFormat (Auto, JSON, HTML, RTF, Markdown or Text) and FieldEncoding choose how the field is stored, and AutoDisplay loads large documents on demand.
On .NET, the DocumentText property binds to your data in WinForms, WPF and Avalonia.

Print, export and .NET

Paper, PDF and PNG from the same document.

Print and PrintPreview on VCL, FireMonkey, WinForms, WPF and Avalonia, with header rows repeated on each page of a table.
ExportToPDF writes a tagged PDF through the sgcPDF engine, and ExportToPNG renders any page at the resolution you choose, also without a window.
TsgcWinFormsRichEdit with data binding and a Visual Studio designer, TsgcWpfRichEdit and TsgcAvaloniaRichEdit use the same names as the Delphi controls.
