Summary: Highlighter
Initial Comment:
Be able to highlight sections of code.
If there was a highlighter option which could be
toggled on and off, then the user could highlight the
background with certain colors.
The highlighting of code would not have to be stored
between programs, but could be a per session feature.
I have always wanted to highlight certain sections of
code that I talk about with my students. Usually these
are changes I have made in code, and new concepts I am
introducing. Highlighting certain pieces of code in a
bright color such as yellow, pink, or green would allow
students to pick out these sections of code quickly,
especially if they look away momentarily.
ex:
while(x < 0) { <-- highlight x < 0 in yellow
System.out.print(x);
x--;
}
if(x%5==0)
System.out.println("Divisible by"); <-- highlight
in red
System.out.println("Five");
<pre>while(<span style="background-color: #FFFF00;">x
< 0</span>) {
System.out.print(x);
x--;
}
if(x%5==0)
<span
style="background-color:#FF0000">System.out.println("Divisible
by"); </span>
System.out.println("Five");
</pre>
