I think I can have a basic version finished within a few weeks. But right=

the moment I'm more occupied with translating than with developing...

The highlighting is basically finished. I have two different versions - o=
ne=20
with QSyntaxHighlighter, one class which I've written myself. Both classe=
s=20
have both advantages and (possible) disadvantages.

QSyntaxHighlighter is easy to implement. But IMHO it's a problem that onl=
y one=20
line (paragraph) can be checked at a time. I cannot for instance check fo=
r=20
entities which start at the end of one line and end on the next line (lik=
e=20
with &kcontrolcenter; where one line ends with '&kcontrol' and the next o=
ne=20
starts with 'center;') since I don't know if the ampersand is used for an=
=20
entity or as an accelerator...

My own class works around this. But it uses some of the code from the cur=
rent=20
highlighting and there's this problem with the crashes we have in current=
=20
highlighting... So I don't know whether there will still be crashes (didn=
't=20
experience them though).

Any decisions?
