Is this something the community could help with? I know myself and
maybe another person or two who would be willing to help if it was
clear what else needed to be done.
There is 1 issue in abiword's layout engine that prevents this from
being finished. Martin and I discussed it on IRC, and we might have a
way to do it.
It needs some more explicit designing before we should implement it
though.
As for me being a perfectionist: I don't want to allow hacks in the code
that fix a particular problem now, but will haunt us in the future :)
Martin and Marc will know better about the syntax highlighting stuff,
but if you can help with the very important activity that Write is,
please consider properly packaging pyabiword for fedora (and other
distros):

We are using a _really_ old prerelease tarball of abiword:
2.6.0.svn20071127 . The Abi guys have already released 2.6.4 :/
I'm working on pushing proper packages in Fedora as we speak. It could
take a few days before it's finished as this is all spare time work.
AbiSource Corporation employees (read: me) can be hired though
*hint* :-)
