- Lightbrite 1.1 (a source-code highlighting package) is available for
- anonymous FTP from ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu in /outgoing/marca/epoch. It
- runs (transparently) on both Epoch 4.2 and Lucid Emacs 19.3.
-
- It hasn't been greatly stress-tested yet, so bugs surely remain; in
- the tradition of c++-mode, it has an automatic bug-report generation
- command specifically designed to make it extra-easy to whine and
- complain :-).
-
- Features of Lightbrite 1.1 include:
-
- o Accurate comment highlighting.
- o Regexp touchup highlighting.
- o Easy specification of visual attributes of multiple
- highlighting styles.
- o Instant highlighting (as you type) with adjustable
- responsiveness.
- o Buffer size thresholds for both comment and touchup
- highlighting.
- o Use of minor mode and local keymaps.
- o Re-highlight visible screen, current paragraph, current
- function, immediate area, or entire buffer.
- o Large assortment of default mode-specific highlighting
- patterns.
- o Automatic highlight on find-file and/or write-file.
- o Special handling of mail and rmail modes.
- o Works with both Epoch and Lucid Emacs transparently.
-
- Enjoy,
