#59 Syntax highlighting

[Jeff Teunissen]

I'm a Nedit user, and one of the things I missed was Nedit's regexp-based syntax highlighting.

For example: In the PHP language definition, there is no way (that I have found) to specify that highlight of PHP syntax occur only inside PHP open/close tags, and outside them only HTML is highlighted. In Nedit, this is done by making the PHP patterns "children" of open/close tags. Likewise, JavaScript code can't be highlighted properly inside HTML files.

I like CodeCommander, but the inability to have multiple languages in use in the same source file is IMO a disadvantage.
