[Geany-Devel] Plugin development questions

[Steven Blatnick]

Not sure if this will help you, but I wrote a plugin to highlight 
anything selected and a search string using separate highlighting from 
the other searches and AddOn plugin.  It sounds like you are putting 
markers in the margin, but this code may be useful to look at if you 
wanted to mark the changes inline (such as using green to indicate added 
code).  You'll notice the gints I use for the indicators must be unused 
by geany for other highlighting.

Thanks,

Steve
