Syntax highlighting

All, Sorry for the large post. With everyone using different text editors with syntax highlighting I though this may come in useful. Just add the words 'op! 'action! etc to your vanilla syntax file and it will search and replace with the actual words split by a separator. Comments, improvements, complete rewrites appreciated :) (watch out for any lines >80 chars which may have wrapped) Cheers, John REBOL [ Title: "Syntax generator" Date: 5-Oct-2001 File: %syntax-gen.r Author: "John Kenyon" email: [johnkenyon--iname--com] Version: "0.1" Purpose: { Generic syntax file generator for Rebol Uses template format for syntax files Grabs words using a modifed version of 'help } History: { 0.1 5-Oct-2001 "First attempt at a more generic Rebol syntax generator" } Instructions: { Take a syntax file for your favourite editor Add 'op!
