+# Technology
+
+Textadept is composed of many different technologies, which are briefly listed
+in the following sections.
+
+## User Interface
+
+Textadept's user interface consists of a graphical user interface (GUI) and a
+terminal user interface (TUI).
+
+=[GTK+][] - GIMP Toolkit=
+    Textadept uses GTK as its cross-platform GUI toolkit.
+
+=[ncurses][], [pdcurses][] - Libraries for displaying terminal applications=
+    Textadept uses ncurses as its Linux, MacOSX, and BSD terminal UI, and uses
+    pdcurses as its Windows terminal UI.
+
+=[gtDialog][]\* - Cross-platform tool for creating interactive dialogs=
+    Textadept uses gtDialog for displaying interactive GUI and TUI dialogs.
+
+=[cdk][] - Widget library for terminal applications=
+    Textadept uses cdk for drawing terminal UI widgets.
+
+=[curses-windowman][] - Library to manage split views in curses applications=
+    Textadept uses curses-windowman for handling split views in the terminal
+    version.
+
+=[libtermkey][] - Library for processing keyboard entry for terminal apps=
+    Textadept uses libtermkey for advanced keyboard entry handling.
+
+## Editor
+
+Textadept's core text editing component is Scintilla.
+
+=[Scintilla][] - Scintilla=
+    Textadept uses Scintilla as its core text editing component.
+
+=[Scinterm][]\* - Scintilla for curses=
+    Textadept uses Scinterm as its core text editing component for the terminal
+    version.
+
+=[Scintillua][]\* - Dynamic Lua LPeg Lexers for Scintilla=
+    Textadept uses Scintillua and its lexers for highlighting source code.
+
+## Scripting
+
+Textadept uses Lua as its scripting language. The editor is primarily written in
+Lua and includes a few external libraries.
+
+=[Lua][] - Lua Programming Language=
+    Textadept uses Lua as its internal scripting language. Most of Textadept is
+    written in Lua.
