Hi!

I need a a simple editor with syntax highlighting and I am trying to see if the CodeEditor class could make this task easier.

So far so good, but I can't figure out how to get it to try and highlight syntax using one of the supported cases, like HTML.

Is there an simple way to do it?

And what does the "F" in the top right corner of the package icon for CodeEditor mean?

Could you tell why you create your own ide? Is it suppose to replace theide or it's been created for sth else?

BTW, since CodeEditor is capable of highlighting pretty much everything at various qualities, I suppose it is meant to highlight universal external sources, not U++ sources which are mostly C++.

So it needs to be updated to properly handle BOM files, together with saving the BOM bytes on each save if present at load time.

I'm going to try and implement this next.

Another thing I did not manage to figure out: when editing things like .h, pairs of #ifdef #endif are joined together by a vertical blue line.

But if I change the extension of the file, the blue line is no longer shown, but the pseudocomment detailing what macro what closed (// #ifdef foo) still appears.

What controls the decision to render the blue line or not.

Ah, found it! Hardcoded highlight. Thanks!

Editor shaping up real good.

Now with those blue bars it is begging for code folding .
