Editors with support for ASP tags don't change the code at all. That is
the
point. So no action is required afterwards and designer won't see the
code, but only a replacement icon.

I've tested Dreamweaver, GoLive and Homesite. They do all ASP, some do
ColdfusionML, SSI or PHP. The best one was Dreamweaver, the worst
GoLive (only ASP). I couln't test Frontpage.

<% is like [- and
<%= is like [+
Example:
<TR BGCOLOR="<%= $col %>">  (The editors I tested had no problem with
double
closing tags as long as they use '%>'
The other example was given in a previous posting, I'm not an expert in
ASP syntax.

I guess there is no need to make the syntax configurable to any sequence
of characters as brackets but just the popular ones with priority to ASP
because of my tests.
