FWIW, I find the most useful feature of TextPad's syntax (C++) checking is simply that the [] brackets are highlighted which makes (mis-)matching them much easier to spot. A feature of Quickbook is that mismatching is difficult to diagnose and produces some odd effects far away from the error, so a checker that allowed one to identify the matching ] would be most useful. I have sensed that missing ]s are not detected? But I could be wrong. Another feature that caused me some grief is that you can't simply have ]s in comments - that ends the comment. It does what it says on the can, but you can't quickly comment out lines as you can with C++ // But the most annoying feature at present is that using symbol templates like [alpha], any trailing spaces are ignored and you must write [alpha][space] to get a space before the next character. But overall I now strongly recommend it for C++ writing documentation.
