Hi James,

It's been a few years since I've used BBEdit so forgive me if I'm talking about the wrong thing... You should look at the SubtleGradient themes shown in the TM Wiki. These have striped columns for leading whitespace.

Hello all,

One thing I found useful in BBEdit was the ability to show the pinstripe column markers -- I find this invaluable as a guide when coding in python, where indentation is critical. Might this be a feature that you all would find useful?

Perl has it built in (meta.leading-tabs, meta.odd-tab, meta.even-tab).

I am also using it in Objective-C, using the syntax below which itself includes the Objective-C syntax. That recipe could probably be used for other languages as well. It works fine with hard tabs, for soft tabs it assumes 4-char wide tabs.
