[ic] jEdit xml syntax highlight preview

[Craig Beasland]

Chris,

I have been using jedit and your interchange xml thingy since you announced
it on this list.  I downloaded jedit at the recommendation of someone on
this list (possible you) and it is fantastic.

Congrats to you and the jedit team.

cheers
craig

Dan,

I'm glad you like it.

It looks like jEdit stacks colors in its properties file
(\windows\.jedit\properties on my system)

Here are my colors on top of the default. If you remove your color lines you
will be set back to the defaults- this is probably not the best way so save
a
backup copy...
view.style.literal2=color\:\#999900
view.style.literal1=color\:\#990099
view.style.keyword3=color\:\#9999ff style\:b
view.style.keyword2=color\:\#0000ff style\:b
view.style.keyword1=color\:\#ff00ff style\:b
view.style.operator=color\:\#000000 style\:b

You can also change TYPE's in the xml file but I'll probably be making
changes
to that after 3.1 (when a new INCLUDE tag will be supported).

If you go Utilities->Global Options->jEdit Options->Editing you can select
the
default mode: interchange. You can also do it on a file basis by putting
this
in the top 10 lines: :mode=interchange:
There is more info in the manual.

Would you think it would be better to highlight item-xxx tags from a keyword
list, while the user defined PREFIX= would get a default color? I'm still
debating this.

If a few more people use it I would consider submitting it to the jEdit
team,
otherwise, I'm not sure that it is worth it for 2 or 3 users... We'll see!

Also, many thanks to Slava Pestov of jEdit (http://www.jedit.org/) for his
help
on the Interchange mode.
