Hi all,
New to Geany (and programming).
I would very much like to have escape sequences highlighted in a similar way to gedit. I've searched high and low for an explanation on how to achieve this and have come up empty. I'm sure it's very simple, however it's a mystery to me! I have attached a screenshot to visually explain what I mean.
Hi,
I had some code I was using to highlight colours in the text but it's quite general so I adapted it to highlight escape sequences for you, it's here if you want it:

See the Plugin Howto for information on how to compile it.
Cheers, Matthew Brush
Hi Matthew,
Couple of questions to check I'm reading it right
1. isn't copying the entire buffer (sci_get_contents copies the whole file into a malloced buffer) on each change a bit heavy if the file is not tiny 2. you are changing indicators (calling scan_extra_items) in a SCN_MODIFIED notification, but scintilla explicitly states "No modifications may be performed while in a SCN_MODIFIED event"
