Re: GtkSourceView: newbie questions

Hi Paolo:

First, thanks a lot for your quick response!

Hmm, that's not exactly what I want - [^_] would also match all other  
unicode chars for which g_unichar_isalnum() is not TRUE (see [1]).  
Building a proper unicode class seems to be like pulling a whale on the  
beach...

Hmm, I see. Anyway, multiline matching would simplify life a lot, so if  
you ever consider to introduce it... ;-) Of course, this is nonsense if  
you limit GtkSourceView's matching to programming languages, but  
human-readable stuff (like my case) may have different requirements (also  
the point above).

Might also be a problem that balsa launches a g_timeout to re-wrap the  
buffer (which under some circumstances makes the application crash), I'll  
investigate that.

Cool, I'll look forward to that!

Cheers, Albrecht.
