+ * You can leave the player part out if you don't need it - there won't be any
+ * difference.
+ *
+ * You can set different colors and fonts for both parts. In the future there
+ * will probably some kind of KChatBaseDialog which offers the user the ability
+ * to configure things like color and font on the fly.

+/**
+ * @short The base class for chat widgets
+ *
+ * This is the base class for both KChat and KGameChat. KGameChat is the class
+ * you want to use if you write a KGame based game as it will do most things for
+ * you. KChat is more or less the same but not KGame dependant
+ *
+ * KChatBase provides a complete chat widget, featuring different sending means
+ * (e.g. "send to all", "send to player1", "send to group2" and so on - see
+ * addSendingEntry). It also provides full auto-completion capabilities (see
+ * KCompletion and KLineEdit) which defaults to disabled. The user can
+ * change this by right-clicking on the KLineEdit widget and selecting the
+ * desired behaviour. You can also change this manually by calling
+ * setCompletionMode.
+ *
+ * To make KChatBase useful you have to overwrite at least returnPressed.
+ * Here you should send the message to all of your clients (or just some of
+ * them, depending on sendingEntry).
+ *
+ * To add a message just call addMessage with the nickname of the player
+ * who sent the message and the message itself. If you don't want to use
+ * layoutMessage by any reason you can also call addItem directly. But you
+ * should better replace layoutMessage instead.
+ *
+ * You probably don't want to use the abstract class KChatBase directly but use
+ * one of the derived classess KChat or KGameChat. The latter is the
+ * widget of choice if you develop a KGame application as you don't have to
+ * do anything but providing a KGame object.
