Bug#46308: user defined regex help system

Package: kate
Version: KDE 3.0.2 
Severity: wishlist
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
Compiler:          gcc 2.95.3
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

I would like to see a system whereby a list of regular expressions, contained in some configuration file, can be applied to a document and are linked to some text. When the cursor is on a line which matches one of the regex's then there is a window which displays the associated text. For instance when typing in html if the line contains <img...> then the window could contain all of the possible attributes for the tag. If writing a document a regexp can be made to check for double words (a common mistake) and alert the user through the help window. The lines should be marked in some manner to indicate that a regexp matches. Which set of regexps are in operation should be loosly tied to the highlight.  style. You are unlikely to want to see problems with html when your working on c++ sources. I think this could be very neat.
