 	<description>
 		TextEdit is meant for editing large, multiline text. It also has facilities for editing code, such as syntax highlighting support and multiple levels of undo/redo.
+		[b]Note:[/b] Most viewport, caret and edit methods contain a [code]caret_index[/code] argument for [member caret_multiple] support. The argument should be one of the following: [code]-1[/code] for all carets, [code]0[/code] for the main caret, or greater than [code]0[/code] for secondary carets.
 		[b]Note:[/b] When holding down [kbd]Alt[/kbd], the vertical scroll wheel will scroll 5 times as fast as it would normally do. This also works in the Godot script editor.
