I’m very new to 4D Web programming and I’m trying to get comfortable with the 
tools. One thing that I’m challenged by is debugging HTML. 

For example, I’m getting an error on a web page that says “4DENDIF expected”, 
so I’ve traced the html in Chrome using the Developer Tools and I have 
identified the suspect html file. Now I am poring over that file in my text 
editor, matching the 4DIF to the 4DENDIF tags. This works, but it is tedious 
and time consuming and error prone. It would nice to have a tool that could 
format it automatically.

I don’t know much about text editors, but I think what may be needed is a 
custom lexer. I use NotePad++, which seems to support adding lexers, but would 
be willing to consider changing to something else, if it could learn about 4D 
Tags. Is there an Text Editor which knows about 4D Tags? Does anyone know how 
to write a lexer for 4D Tags?

Or maybe I’m making this too difficult?
