Re: [Nano-devel] Syntax Highlighting

it's not a problem, but the paren here are pointless

still note that [a-z] does not match all letters in some locales which is
why i suggested [:alnum:]

> color brightblue "(^)?(([[:space:]]?)+)#.*$"

i don't understand what you're trying to match here

this means match the start, or don't match at the start:
        (^)?
i.e. seems pointless

this means match groups of optional spaces:
        (([[:space:]]?)+)
which is equiv to writing:
        [[:space:]]*

which doesn't seem like what you want to do here ...

> color brightwhite "\".*\""
> color brightwhite "\'.*\'"

do you want to do [^']* instead ?  otherwise, something like:
 var = 'foo' + 'bar'

note: i'm not familiar with powershell syntax ...

also, do you want to add a trailing whitespace highlight as i mentioned
earlier ?
