If he didn't care about syntax highlighting, everything he wants could be trivially handled with the standard styling mechanism (he would only need 7 of the 8 bits!) Personally, I don't think you should change scintilla at all regarding Stefan's feature request. If he can't squeeze his application into the quite generous 32 indicators and 256 styles, he should really consider drawing everything himself. If his language and GUI toolkit makes such things difficult, then we point out that other languages and toolkits are easier than others, and that he shouldn't restrict himself to languages and toolkits that make such things difficult ;) - Josiah _______________________________________________ Scintilla-interest mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.lyra.org/mailman/listinfo/scintilla-interest
