Re: [vile] ANN: vile-9.8s

[j. van den hoff]

thanks a lot for the new version. regarding the (k)sh syntax filter I can  
confirm that the reported problems are gone.

while testing a bit further I noted that there persists (a so far  
seemingly unreported) minor glitch in the tcl syntax filter, it seems:

I see strange spurious highlighting by reverse video in constructs like

[1G

(the `1G' shows up in reverse video (red in my case))

strangely this happens ony if _not_ in line one. even more strangely it  
does also not happen in, e.g.,

[1A

I have encountered the problem when defining constants containing escape  
sequences, e.g. like

set gobol  {^[[1G}

to move cursor to beginning of line (^[ denoting escape (octal 033)). you  
can also see the problem with this silly example:

proc 1G {return bla}
puts [1G]

note that the reverse video might only appear after deleting and  
reinserting the line containing the `[1G' construct.
as an aside: in this example the proc name is furthermore highlighted as a  
reserved word (like proc). maybe both problems are related?

thanks for `vile'
