No problem... it had been bugging me for a while.

Not sure why "sum" is being seen as a keyword though. > - a function similar to the one below will have "trim" and "qt" > highlighted differently. > > trim.qt <- function(x) sum(x) > > trim.qt(mtcars$cyl) geany doesn't seem to recognise that a . in R can be used as part of a variable / function name. > - so will an object, say, > > get.smth <- iris > > - objects don't seem recognised at all. In what sense? I think it doesn't highlight objects that you've created, although I could be wrong. To be honest I only really notice the highlighting for strings and the bracket closing. > Are these failures of the current parser implementation, or is this > something that one should expect? Thanks It's the syntax highlighting, not the tag parser (tags are things like function definitions or global variable definitions). I've not really looked at it enough to see how tuneable it is. It's been a while since I delved into the R template files. Maybe later today.
