Well, the Kate-Editor has some basic funktion fpr this, and so has 
kdevelop also, i think. Or you can use basket. And there are also some 
outliners, like tuxcard, knowit, kjotes or treeline.

But to be honest, no application is really satisfying. They are all too 
complicatet, slow, have a really bad ui, and so on. Well, unfortunaly, at 
this point, the most app lacks something (tellico also ^_-).

It's not a big deal to integrate kparts. Just change KMainWindow to 
kpart.KMainWindow an add 2-3 lines to load the part, thats all. But of 
cource, the bigger question is, how easy is it to change it with the 
allready existing editor in tellico?

Ok, i tried it also. I copied some python-code from kate and saved it. As 
a result, all leading whitespaces were'nt shown at the info-view(?).
Probably while it's converted to html?

Jep, that's true. But after i tested it myself, i think a more complex 
solution is needed. Something which convert the the code to html. There 
exist some shell-apps for this, but this would be a axternal solution.

Single text-files, and i'm still searching (or better: develop it myself) 
for a good solution to manage them :(
