Problem with syntax highlighting & autocomplete with HTML


I often use SciTE as an HTML editor but recently have discovered some
behaviour that I can't explain.  To speed my editing I have
autocompletion of tags turned on.  This works as expected when typing
in a valid tag but it also "works" when I type an invalid tag, and not
as I expect.

For example, if I type "<this is a test" and close the invalid tag
with ">", SciTE automatically inserts "</this>" at the cursor - i.e.
at the end of the "<this is a test>".  Is there any way I can prevent
SciTE from highlighting invalid tags?  I don't rely on SciTE to check
the validity of my HTML documents, but I'd prefer that invalid tags
weren't highlighted.

In another example I am often inserting XHTML <img> tags but they're
not being highlighted correctly.

For example, if I type <img src="image.png" alt="Lovely picture" />,
everything up to the closing "/>" is highlighted correctly.  However
the closing "/>" appears in the colours reserved for "Text" (according
to the html.properties file).

Is my XHTML code invalid, is there more I need to do to have this code
highlighted correctly, or is this a limitation of SciTE/Scintilla?

My .2 cents on this.

For really heavy tasks, I use EMACS. SciTE is my Notepad substitute.
I agree that a scripting language is much more capable, but it's less
flexible. Macros are for small things on the fly, while scripting is for
giving some of the keyboard macros which have been useful a more
permanent home.

   Unknown tags are 'badlighted' in red. You can change this colour by
setting style.hypertext.2.

   Tag ends have their own style.

# XML style tag ends '/>'
style.hypertext.11=fore:#000080

Neil,

Your advice solved both my problems.  The cause of the problem was, of
course, me in that I have been heavily tweaking colour scheme settings
in various properties files, including html.properties.

Indent, and Dedent vs Unindent


Hello,
I propose to replace the charming 'dedent' word with the 'Unindent",
just like in MS Office/Visual Studio. Just curious, how it was
invented :)

Syntax coloring wrong for attempted selection by cursor-dragging


Hi,

I'm running SciTE Version 1.74 over WinXP-Pro/SP3 and it works
beautifully.

I copied the directory housing SciTE.exe wholesale to my daughter's
WinXP-MediaCenterEdition/SP3 computer.  Everything seems to working
perfectly here too ... almost.

The only problem I've encountered is trying to highlight some text by
dragging the cursor (actually, "carat", to use precise Windows
jargon).  The dragged-over text's appearance remains unchanged,
though copying it and deleting it both work correctly.

I'm pretty sure the problem is with XP, because I see strange coloring
in other applications.  I set the coloring theme to "Windows XP", but
that has not cleared up all anomalies.

Nevertheless,  I posted this question in case anybody thinks SciTE is
possibly contributing to my problem.

Thanks in Advance,
Richard

Re: Syntax coloring wrong for attempted selection by cursor-dragging


The problem is most likely neither scite nor windows, but rather the  
video card/monitor itself not being able to display certain very light  
shades of gray. Changing the color used for selection highlighting in  
scite global properties file should fix the problem. This properties  
file is usually in the same folder as the scite exe file.

Hope this helps,

Vais
