Re: [ jEdit-devel ] RFC: Syntax highlighting and the ESCAPE rule

[Marcelo V. <va...@us...>]

Me again: new patch! A cleaned up version of the last one, now with
all mode files modified for the new "escape" handling. Doc also
updated. NO_ESCAPE is now deprecated since it's not needed anymore.

It would be nice if people tested this, especially with languages I'm
not familiar with (such as Ruby, which seems to have a whole bunch of
rules for literals).

I'd really like to check this patch in since it fixes a few bugs and
simplifies the code a lot, but more testing is always good.
