<!-- ##### SECTION Short_Description ##### -->
Interface for text-editing widgets

<!-- ##### SECTION Long_Description ##### -->
<para>
The #GtkEditable interface is an interface which should be implemented by
text editing widgets, such as #GtkEntry and #GtkText. It contains functions 
for generically manipulating an editable widget, a large number of action 
signals used for key bindings, and several signals that an application can 
connect to to modify the behavior of a widget. 
</para>

<para>
As an example of the latter usage, by connecting
the following handler to "insert_text", an application
can convert all entry into a widget into uppercase.

<example>
<title>Forcing entry to uppercase.</title>
<programlisting>
#include &lt;ctype.h&gt;

void
insert_text_handler (GtkEditable *editable,
                     const gchar *text,
                     gint         length,
                     gint        *position,
                     gpointer     data)
{
  int i;
  gchar *result = g_utf8_strup (text, length);

				   (gpointer) insert_text_handler, data);
