Better (native) XML syntax highlighting

Post by mscheuner »

I like Textpad a lot - and I use it every day. One thing that's increasingly bothering me is the fact that Textpad can't properly syntax-highlight XML files - and those are becoming more and more prevalent.

Other editors have much better and native XML highlighting support. Also, it seems the Textpad "document classes" approach with *.syn file doesn't really work nicely for XML files - you don't typically have keywords and stuff like that in XML - you have XML tags, with attributes and such.

I would really like to see Textpad 6 support native, integrated XML highlighting support for all those XML based files (WSDL, XML, XSD, XSLT, .NET .config files and much much more)
