Sir,

Sorry for being vague in my previous mail.

By 'stuff', I meant the following:-
Syntax highlighting and coloring
Content Assists,
Quick Fixes & error marking..
Auto Edit Features & formatting support
Context Information
Double Click Strategies,
Text Hover features,
appropriate partitioning..

Except 'error marking' and quick fixes, as you would have seen from my
code, I have implemented the other features to a large extent. Though,
lot of work will have to be done to make it perfect, which is what I
was hoping malaka would do.

Ok, then we will wait for his study of the parser. I just went over
the parser, and kind of understood it, but i could understand where we
could actually bring the two code to the same level, in other words,
integrate it, cause the basic functioning of the TextEditor is based
on set of 'Rules', quite unlike the parser.

Well, I'll be working on the following points:-
1. Content Outline. ( Partially done with revision 208).
2. Integrating present XEclipse code
3. Wikimodel integration as mentioned above
4. Advanced-rpc based content assist.

Now, since I've told about the respective portions we'll be
individually working on, I think there would not be any overlapping
again.
