So lets try this for the 3rd time.... Is there a SynEdit highlighter that bases its rules purely on regex? Something like what EditPad Pro does? [or gEdit, mcedit etc]
I have designed the orginal editor to be fast, flexible and versatile
and I have told the comunity that it can do everything imageable
provided someone other than me will do the work.
As there had been many requests for a regular expression highlighter.
I have decided to make an exception and implemented
a generic regular expression engine for syntactical evaluation,
with unlimited nesting depth and thus an unlimited amount of "languages"
within a single piece of text, which can beat everything published before with ease.
Intentionaly I have published it as a generic lexer not as a highlighter
and without a rule reader, just to left over a little bit work.
However James Jacobson has publisched a sample highlighter based on it many years ago.
