Thanks! On your page http://www.jedit.org/index.php?page=features, can you replace the letter "D" with <a href="http://www.digitalmars.com/d/" title="The D Programming Language">D</a> ?

Sorry, not my page, I'm just a happy user.

But I can pass along the request.

Thanks!

All it does so far is syntax highlighting. It also delegates to the Doxygen mode if you embed Doxygen comments in your code (which I do), like the C and C++ modes also do now.

It hasn't gotten a huge amount of testing, but if anyone finds any bugs or has any ideas for improving it, please let me know.

/regards/jim

When using "r" for Wysiwyg strings, the text after the first Wysiwyg string is still highlighted as if it were part of the first string, until the next quote.

Example: writefln(r"c:\", r"d:\");
^^^^^^^^^
highlighted

Sorry if this is not the place for this post.  Is there another forum this should go?

Short answer: writefln(r"c:\\", r"d:\\");

Long answer:
The backslash is in many cases considered as a "literal" character, which means
that the next character is to be taken literally as part of the string. For
example, \" means that the character " is supposed to be part of the string. In
your case the resulting string is:
c:", r
and then the string ends (I guess your example didn't compile?). To use an
actual backslash character as part ot the string, use \\

Or maybe I've just misunderstood what a Wysiwyg string is...

Does this mean that it highlights as C, C++ or D according to the extension, but uses the Doxygen mode specifically to highlight the comments?

I noticed a typo on the webpage: DOxygen instead of Doxygen.  Not to mention Latex instead of LaTeX if that's what's meant....

I noticed that putting in the extra backslash fixed the highlighting.  But that "r" in front of the string says to treat the string exactly as it's typed and not to interpret any backslashes as escape characters.  So if I do put in the extra backslash, I'll have two.

I don't know if jEdit can do that type of special case highlighting.

It's not a big thing, just a nicety. :)
