[Gambas-user] How does gb.highlight affect older projects with editor

[Rolf-Werner Eilert]

The new gb.highlight surely reads like a nifty peace of software, it 
remembers me of the Python Lexer which is controlled via a css file.

But what about my older software projects which still use the 
gb.eval.highlight component? There are a few where I use the editor to 
enable the user to edit my own config or macro files with their own 
highlighting. And in these projects, the editor appears at different 
places/dialogs with different highlightings for different kinds of files.

Will I have to rewrite them? Or will you leave the gb.eval.highlight 
component in the list? Or will there be a compatibility level for the 
editor?

I remember that some time ago there has been a change to this 
highlighting thing. It was said, you have to recode everything, but it 
turned out relatively easy as I merely had to change some keywords. The 
rest of it had remained the same. Here the effort will be much greater I 
guess.
