[TxMt] Re: LaTeX Syntax coloring problem (Cont.)

[Charilaos Skiadas]

Hi mapcdi,

This is indeed a quite unsatisfactory situation with the  
newenvironment commands. The correct solution would indeed be to add  
a rule for parsing \newenvironment and \renewenvironment specially.  
It would likely offer a very limited highlighting of the arguments,  
but should sort of work otherwise. I am pretty sure however that I  
won't have time to work on it myself in the foreseeable future,  
perhaps one of the other maintainers has more time for it. Patches  
are of course always welcome.

As a temporary solution, I would suggest creating a separate file  
with all these \newenvironment definitions, and then just using  
\input to include that file at the appropriate place. I.e. have most  
of the preamble as a separate file. This has the extra benefit that  
you can easily include it in multiple other documents as well.
