[Help-source-highlight] Source-Highlight-IDE 1.0

[Lorenzo Bettini]

Hi

I've just released a new version of Source-Highlight-IDE, an IDE for GNU 
Source-highlight (given a source file, produces a document with syntax 
highlighting).

Sourcehighlightide home page is http://srchighliteide.sourceforge.net.

This new version is a complete rewriting using Qt4 (instead of KDE3) and 
it is based on Source-Highlight-Qt (which I've already blogged about) 
additional library, http://srchiliteqt.sourceforge.net, which provides 
highlighting in Qt relying on GNU Source-Highlight.

Sourcehighlightide is useful when you have to develop a new language 
definition file for source-highlight. A language definition file makes 
use of regular expressions, and if they become complex it might be hard 
to understand how they are matched. Source-highlight already provides 
some mechanisms for debugging a language definition file; 
Sourcehighlightide provides a graphical interface to debug a language 
definition file: it will show which regular expression is matched during 
the formatting of the input file, and you can process the input file 
step by step (i.e., an expression at time), and you can also see the 
output while it is produced.

cheers
        Lorenzo
