How to enable (X)HTML tag highlighting?
Submitted by mamboze on Monday, 24 January, 2011 - 02:47
Hi,
I had to reinstall jEdit recently and I can't work out how to enable html tag highlighting showing the enclosed code block. At the moment, all I'm getting when I click on one of the angle brackets of a tag is the other one getting indicated with the cursor. This is not very useful when editing (X)HTML pages. Also, when editing a php file, how can I get the php specific tags to be highlighted differently to HTML?

Thanks in advance for any help.

mode definition file

The shipped mode definition file "html.xml" is intended to only highlight embedded JavaScript. If You want another language to be highlighted You need an enhanced mode file. Maybe once You've found one at http://community.jedit.org/?q=filestore/browse/21.

I have changed the original mode file to recognize VBscript.
