[QUOTE="technologist, post: 89698, member: 4134"] For those of you who seem confused: A word processor (AppleWorks, Word, Pages) is [b]not[/b] the same thing as a text editor. They serve different needs. Anyway... JEdit ([url]http://www.jedit.org/[/url]) has this ability, I believe. TextWrangler is a reduced-feature-set BBEdit derivative, and it doesn't have this feature, either. There is a development kit for creating new language modules for BBEdit/TextWrangler, but it's not a trivial task. Have you tried Googling for a third-party module that supports the language you're working with? There are a bunch of them out there. [/QUOTE]
