Hi - what a great piece of software this is - congratulations!
One thing, I would like to customise the xml syntax highlighting - are there any plans to expose this in a dialog? Alternatively, is there an xml file containing the mappings which I could edit? A cursory examination has not turned one up.....
Thank,
Patrick Byrne
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I should really provide some syntax highlighting customisation, but haven't been able to make it a priority so far. The immediate reason is that the editor component I'm using makes this a little cumbersome - the lexer that takes care of the highlighting has some faults (e.g. when highlighting embedded DTDs) and lacks some basic functionality (e.g. being able to paint angle brackets in a slightly different colour). Ideally I'd like to find a better lexer and build the dialog around that.
That said, there's nothing to keep the program from exposing the existing highlighting functionality - so far the problem has been finding the time as there's still so much useful XML functionality that could be added...
Regards,
Gerald

Ok Gerald, thanks for replying.
I wasn't just being smarmy also, the software really does seem to be loads better than other freeware offers out there.
