Wel the highlight is made special for HTML syntax code.

For me the interesting one is the dual editor.

This was the sitution I had in the past on UltraEdit32 and it helps to have 
the head with declarations or function you want to use on top and the actual 
work area on bottom. 
This editor was the reason for my implementation of the 'Search list' and 
in 'Project' search currently in Gambas available.

In Gambas you can't open a second view of same class code as reference.
This could prevent the continues scrolling and losing the work position.
Yes bookmark helps but direct view is the best IMO.


I can not find how the 2 editors are connected to the same text data.
Only Editor1 gets a 'download.html' file but visible in both :ask:
Seen in function for VSplit using editor.view but no help local for it.

Special interest how the interaction is bind between 2 editors.
It dos not matter in wich I type, in both the result.

I once put 2 editors in the IDE editor for above purpose but had to use the
editor.change to keep them synchroon.

So question arise, can I place 2 editors the same way in the IDE with VSplit? 
The second one as viewer for lookup, copy-2 and past-1 operations. 
No direct edit needed but handy.

I wil try next week but do not want distroy the current working of FEditor
for the other parts as i.e. Editor.Analize .Symbols etc.
