If Emacs fails, it is certainly buggy: this looks just fine in Vim. > From this quote on, Emacs syntax highlighting is in string mode. so > code appears highlighted as a string.

I don't know, if Emacs could cope with that, but I suspect, that this could even do more harm. In literary text, you might have the occacional single quote, but in Webware texts, double quotes are much more common. I mean, we're dealing HTML here, where double quotes are everywhere: self.writeln('''<input type="text" width="25" value="Quotes">''') is nicer than this, IMO: self.writeln("""<input type="text" width="25" value="Quotes">""") ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ Webware-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-devel
