+/**
+    A simple message view for Kate plugins.
+    
+    This is a message view for displaying output from processes.
+    
+    It uses a QTextEdit in _ mode to display the text. 
+    
+    You can use HTML links, for example to allow the user to go
+    to a line in a precessed document.
+    
+    Connect to the linkClicked() signal to process the links.
+    
+    @section Usage
+    
+    To use it in the intended way:
+    @li Create a KProcess (or derived class)
+    @li As the output of the process arrives, hand it over
+        using addText(). The view will add it to the end and
+        make sure it is scrolled to the end.
+    
+    Each time you restart the process, clear() the view.
