Good to hear that! if you could add tag highlighting in xml file as well as tag matching (like bracket matching) that would be awesome Smile

BTW: I'm almost done with preview tab (idea stolen from VS 2012) that prevents opening too many tabs during debugging or browsing files.

Actually, for .xml, I was thinking about integrating XmlView...

I guess html will come in next development cycle - it will need major refactoring of syntax highlighting mechanism (it is now pretty much tied to curly braces languages...).

Very good news! Thanks Mirek!

A small proposal: please make true/false hilighted as reserved words in JS (it is a part of JS standard).

Funny coincidence: Just a few days before you announced the JS highlighting, I thought that it might be fun to reimplement CodeEditor to support user-defined highlighting. I even started working on it in my free time, so here is a little tasting:
index.php?t=getfile&id=3785&private=0
The image shows CodeEditor using the highlight definition file specifying highlighting of higlighting definition files to highlight highlight definition file specifying highlighting of higlighting definition files. Pretty meta, right? Very Happy

It is based on pcre and caching. Basic highlighting works just fine, some of the higher level features (scope highlighting, matching brackets, ...) are not yet implemented and some are using the old CodeEditor code. The goal is to allow loading user specified highlighters, both at compile time (by include) and at run-time. It requires some pcre skill (or copy&paste skill Smile ) to write one, but otherwise it is very simple format as you can see above - it takes only 16 lines to describe C++ Smile This file imitates current CodeEditor:

Hello Honza

It is interesting for me. I use a special language and I implemented some very basic syntax highlighting but I would like to use something much better.

Thank you Smile.

Best regards
Iñaki

Hi Honza,

Very intersting Wink

Although I don't need it for the moment, it can get handy when using a DSL or wrting a new one.

What is the perfomance on large files ?
