In an effort to avoid actual writing this afternoon, I decided to add some enhancements to the LaTeX syntax bundle.
Here's what I've done:
\textbf{foobar} -> highlights with textbf as the usual maroonish/purplish command color but foobar is bolded in black \textit{foobar} -> sames as above but foobar is italicized in black \texttt{foobar} -> same as above but in a teletype font, ha, no really, its underlined.
Added highlighting for strings like: `foo' and ``foo'' These are colored in the same green as math. I find this one really helpful as it also points out when I've forgotten to use the proper pairing of quotes. I thought about highlighting "foo" in red to really remind me that its wrong.
Added $ to the list of smart typing pairs. I don't know about the rest of you but 99% of the time when I type a $ in LaTeX its to do math.
I also brightened up that maroonish purplish color just slightly since it seemed a bit dim to me.
Since these changes seem generally useful and non-controversial (except maybe the color change). I'd be happy to contribute these to the subversion repository if Alan would grant me an account.
However, since there are already at least three people in the history file I thought I would post my ideas for further discussion. Any requests?
