instanton:
After carefully inspecting the ColouriseTeXDoc code I realized that the keywordlists are not used most of the time because most TeX files would not begin with a comment line like "%interface=tex" or "interface=latex" and the like.
I don't use TeX so just assume the people that contribute code know what they are doing. This becomes difficult when there are multiple ways of using a language and communities built around particular libraries as I can't judge the benefits or drawbacks.
In some cases (e.g. for users using UTF8 encoding), the first line of the document must be used for other purposes (e.g. putting %# -*- coding: utf-8 -*- there in order that SciTE recognize the document as being written in UTF8 encoding)
The encoding cookie should work on line 2 as well.
So I'm wondering if you would accept the idea of replacing ColouriseTeXDoc code in LexTeX.cxx with something similar to ColoriseLaTeXDoc from LexOthers.cxx.
To preserve current usage, it would be safer to implement a second lexer in LexTeX.cxx and allow users to choose between the two. If there are other TeX users on this list or the scite-interest list then they should make their opinions known.
