Hi folks, a long time ago, I mentioned this, but Benoit meant it was a matter of my code :-) Since I didn't have an opportunity to check it out, I just tried it again today.
This is what I found out about the example with the web site HTML code: Highlight Editor will highlight more than one line if the text contains a comment embraced by <!-- --> but only if you set it to Highlight.Comment and nothing else. From my point of view, it shouldn't matter which property of highlighting you use, it's just a choice of colors, right? So try this: Let the Highlight Editor run and look for the first comment line <!--<h3>And do it each time you download a new version !</h3>--> Just insert a Return somewhere within the comment. You'll see that it stays gray, as it should. Stop the program. In the source code, there is SELECT CASE iState CASE Highlight.Normal IF sCar = "<" THEN IF String.Mid$(sText, iInd, 4) = "<!--" THEN iState = Highlight.Comment iNextState = Highlight.Comment ELSE Now, just change the two Hightlight.Comment to something else, e. g. Highlight.Breakpoint and let the program run again. As you will see, all comments now appear in red. Do as before, insert a Return somewhere in the comment. What comes out is, that it starts black ("Highlight.Normal") on the new line, then interprets the following commands as usual. I hope this makes it somewhat clearer what I meant then. In my case, there is an editor for the printing forms I've created for my programs. Its format is very much like HTML, but it reacts slighty different. There are commands in {} and strings within these commands in []. There can be a linebreak at any point within a command structure, so there are some longer definitions (for tables) which reach over several lines to make them easier to read. Adapting the Highlight Editor to my needs was easy, but at this point it fails: all new lines following within a {} start in black, and the hassle only ends with the closing bracket some lines below. For me this is only a small issue, but anyway it's somewhat annoying not to know why and what :-) So, is it a bug or a feature or am I just too stupid to see the way? Thanks for all comments.
