The Scintilla docs are pretty complete and map reasonably well to the
wxWidgets wrapper.
http://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaDoc.html

"If you choose to use the container to do the styling you can use the
SCI_SETLEXER command to select SCLEX_CONTAINER, in which case the
container is sent a SCN_STYLENEEDED notification each time text needs
styling for display."

I think the idea is that you will have to style everything all the
time. Though, I don't remember having tried it myself.
