in thread Source editor w/highlighting for Perl 6 ?

<sigh>. I wish Source Insight had an open interface for supporting more languages. It has some user-defined language ability, but based on simple regex, and using a broken and limited regex engine.

I was hoping there was something for the Scintilla editing engine.

    You might want to have a look at nedit. It has reasonably powerful syntax highlighting based on what seem to be Perl regexen. IIRC, features like look-arounds are supported. I've not tried to set up highlighting for a new language but I would have thought it was possible.

    Cheers,
