broken syntax highlightning when typing "<style *>".
Submitted by Anonymous on Monday, 21 June, 2004 - 09:26
Hello,

I m using jEdit for XML / XSL developing, having the appropriate plugins installed.
Everything is working great, except when typing "<style *>". When doing this, the behavior of the syntax highlighning changes suddenly into a mode where most of the text is displayed black below the style element.

My question is, how can I det rid of it, and where does this behavior come from?

thanks!
More flexible toolbar
Submitted by Anonymous on Monday, 21 June, 2004 - 18:16
Using Jeditsince a long time I find it's time that the toobar becomes more flexible:
-actually having a big number of customized buttons, a dozen for java, a dozen for c, a dozen for
cpp, a dozen for assembly, and some miscellaneous stuff like starting objdump and readelf or
starting gdb from within jedit and others, now the toolbar is becomimg full, and new added buttons
don't appear on it more.Now it would be nice if the toolbar could be extensible ,floatable, and
it can remember its coordinates for the next session.thanks.

Search and Replace a Part of a Regular Expression
Submitted by ELApro on Tuesday, 22 June, 2004 - 20:36
How would one replace only a portion of a regular expression match?
For example, I have lots of entries in my html that have been typed in like..

<a href="http://www.fxweb.holowww.com/tracker/">
WebTracker</a> 
 Web visitor tracking software
<br />

and I want to reformat them all to look like..

<a href="http://www.fxweb.holowww.com/tracker/">
WebTracker</a> Web visitor tracking software
<br />

My Search:  </a>\s*[^<]

in the above case matches: </a> \n W

which I want to replace with: </a> W

How do I grab the W or any other letter that is found by the regular expression term [^<] in order to put it back into the Replace phrase?

How do positional parameters work?
How do you use Jedit, what feature is most useful to you?
Submitted by jiazhimi on Wednesday, 23 June, 2004 - 01:39
Just find it interesting.

Looking from the download count, quite some people download "strange" mode. Seems people use it for different purposes.

Personally I use it as text editor (not all text editing task). Mainly its regular expression support is very useful to me. Some macros are also very useful, especially the "add prefix and surfix" macro. Sometimes when editing html file, I use it to understand file struecture, because of its "find matching tag" feature.

What are you useing it for?
Where is jEditLauncher???
Submitted by Anonymous on Wednesday, 23 June, 2004 - 07:45
Hi,

I just downloaded and installed 42pre14. I upgraded from 4.0.3, and I notice there is now no windows EXE.

This FAQ Item (http://jedit.org/FAQ/installation.html#id2877328) refers to JeditLauncher, but I don't see anything like this in my install directory, and I don't see any exe's.

What am I missing? I need to have an exe so I can set up right-click sendto and associate files and such.

Thanks,
Chad
SWT 3
Submitted by moon.god on Wednesday, 23 June, 2004 - 07:51
Are there any attempts to build a jEdit Version using SWT3? Eclipse' GUI looks and feels far more consistent than jEdit's and even appears to be somewhat faster. Since jEdit appears to be pretty complete and feature rich, I think there is nothing else jEdit would profit more from atm than changing the editors interface to a more accommodative one.
Ruby mode
Submitted by mewshie on Wednesday, 23 June, 2004 - 18:47
Has anyone gotten indenting to work properly in ruby mode? For example, when inside of a method (inside of a def statement), jedit automatically defaults to the _same line_ that the def is on -- no indenting happens. Also, it doesn't recognize the "end" statement, or push it back an indenting level. Thanks for any help

Submitted by Anonymous on Thursday, 24 June, 2004 - 11:35
When a .html file is opened, jEdit knows to use HTML syntax highlighing. When a .php file is opened, it knows to yse the PHP syntax highlighing. What extension is needed to that jEdit will use pl-sql syntax highlighting when a file is opened?
+line:
Submitted by Anonymous on Thursday, 24 June, 2004 - 13:33
Hello, I am using jEdit 4.2pre14 and seems the +line: option does not work correctly. If I use a line number, say 2000 then the caret is positioned at line 2000 but the screen is not scrolled down to bring up the line in the visible area. You have to scroll down to see the caret/hightlighted line. Any input?
Thanks

JDiff Virtual vs Physical Overview
Submitted by eeverman on Thursday, 24 June, 2004 - 14:46
Hi-

Using JDif to compare two long files, I first thought they were identical b/c no 'color bars' showed up. However, by scrolling down I found that there were differences, just not within the current window.

Then I found the JDiff Virtual / Physical option: Physical adds another set of bars to show a complete overview w/o having to scroll, Virtual takes the bars away but reserves the same space for them. So I'm wondering, if the space is always reserved, why have the option? And if in some future release the space can be collapsed, shouldn't the 'Physical' option be the default?

Thanks for JDiff, is a great plug-in!

Platform: OSX 10.3 java 1.4.2, JEdit 4.2 pre 14, JDiff 1.4.1

Thanks,
--ee

Custom format for clock in status bar?
Submitted by Anonymous on Friday, 25 June, 2004 - 11:22
The clock in the status bar of jEdit currently shows the time in 12hr-mode. There should be a configuration dialog to select the desired time-format. Or just an editbox to enter the format pattern.
jEdit GTK Icons (jedit-GTK-icons.jar v1.0 by Alexander Klimetschek / Lars Trieloff)
Submitted by klizza on Friday, 25 June, 2004 - 14:01
Put them into $JAVA_HOME\jre\lib\ext and these icons will be used automatically by jEdit instead of the default ones.

duplex printing in pre14 ?
Submitted by gthorburn on Friday, 25 June, 2004 - 19:56
Just upgraded from 4.2pre6 to 4.2pre14, just to stay current. Duplex (2-sided) printing,
which worked fine under 4.2pre6 just gives me single-sided printing in pre14. System is
Solaris 9 on Sparc. Any ideas??
