Twistpad recognizes <script> tags in HTML docs (that is great!) but the problem is if i am using VBScript and use ' to comment, TPad starts coloring everything after that(even on next line) until it sees another '. SO the problem is it doesn't recognize ' as a line comment, it thinks it is starting of a string ! One more problem is, inside script tags, the syntax highlighting is for JScript+VBscript not just the scripting language i am using. Why is that ?

Hi,

That is a known limitation, the HTML syntax can only either support Javacript or VBscript and by default supports Javascript.

Let me know if you need help editing the HTML syntax to support VBScript.

yes, please..

You need to open the HTML syntax file.
View - Preferences - Syntax and double click on the HTML type.
That should have opened the HTML Syntax file.
Close the properties dialog .

Locate and edit the [ssScriptsComment] header
(Replace by the code below):

[ssScriptsComment]
Type=startstop
Context=8
Priority=9
Scope=4
WholeWordOnly=0
first='
last=
Background=default
Foreground=008000

Locate and delete the following headers:

[ssScriptsString2]

[ssScriptsMultilinecomment]

[ssScriptsBrackets]

[ssStyleBrack]

Replace the [kScriptKeywords] with the one below:

[kScriptKeywords]
Type=keyword
Context=103
Scope=4
Priority=8
WholeWordOnly=1
Keyword1=And;As;Boolean;ByRef;Byte;ByVal;Call;Case;Class;Const;Currenc y;Debug;Dim;Do;Double;Each;Else;ElseIf;Empty;End;EndIf
Keyword2=Enum;Eqv;Event;Exit;False;For;Function;Get;GoTo;If;Imp;Implem ents;In;Integer;Is;Let;Like;Long;Loop;LSet;Me;Mod;New;
Keyword3=Next;Not;Nothing;Null;On;Option;Optional;Or;ParamArray;Preser ve;Private;Public;Raise;Event;ReDim;Rem;Resume;RSet;
Keyword4=Select;Set;Shared;Single;Static;Stop;Sub;Then;To;True;Type;Ty peOf;Until;Variant;Wend;While;With;Xor;randomize
Background=default
Foreground=0000FF

Save the file, you should now have the HTML files scripts section with VBS syntax

Hope that have helped.

But what about JScript ? I use both.

As stated above, either one kind of language script can be supported at a time, unless some kind of compromise is made. But in this case the string char in Javascript conflict with the VB comment.
