Nice. Thanks! As some people know, I personally have problems with syntax highlighting in Lisp (not to say that I don't like it ;-), because I believe that as Lisp has almost no *syntax*, there is also not much meaning in a syntax highlighting. As everything is a function, it is kind of arbitrary to highlight some atoms in the CAR of a list as a built-in function, and some not. This will never be really correct, as everything is subject to change over time. It is hard to keep those symbol lists in sync. And in an s-expression it is not trivial to determine if this is actually a function call or just a list of atoms. In the general case, this is rather confusing than helpful, imho. Until now, I staunchly refused to put any syntax highlighting except for comments, and the transient symbol underlining, into my ".vimrc". Having said this, however, I'm willing to include your JS part into the Wiki, if a democratic majority votes for it. Until now I found myself rather standing alone with my opinion, so I suspect that many people will like it. Here my request to all: Should we extend the Wiki for syntax highlighting in that way? If so, what appearance would you prefer? Cheers, - Alex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picol...@software-lab.de?subject=unsubscribe
