Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have to pass mason components for proofreading to proofreader who is not a programmer. So I would like to give her some editor that highlights HTML::Mason syntax (all possible constructs). She will work on Windows.

What editors do very good job at highlighting Mason code?

Please don't suggest VIM or Emacs though :-)

I guess Comodo would be the best one among others..

    Read-only or read-write proofreading???

    For RO you may want to try Syntax::Highlight::Mason

    For RW I suggest emacs* :-)

    If Komodo doesn't support Mason out-of-the-box just extend the highlighting config. The source of mentioned modul is a good starting point to get syntax infos. Any good editor has to be extendable this way!

    Cheers Rolf

    Only Emacs does a "very good job", and it runs on Windows, and you can set it to use standard Windows hot-keys. For other editors, I'd suggest turning off highlighting, or using HTML highlighting.

    Make the file read-only, and provide your Proofreader with emacs.
