I wrote them usually from scratch, though it might be a good idea to have a library of common rule sketches to use. Eventually, we should have a good GUI editor. Possibly, a web-based or web-browser based one is easiest to implement. I see the rule file as a database of rules, so this should be something like a database front-end, with search capabilities and ready-made sketches of rules (i.e., for typos in context, missing spaces etc.). All decent XML editors do fine, though, so your IDE is simply buggy. Better file a bug report to your IDE rather than fiddle with our syntax. I don't think anyone would say that editing an XML file > 1 MB is impossible by design. It's a side effect that is always undesired. XML files are usually large. >> adding exceptions would be a nightmare in the new syntax scheme. > > I wouldn't do that, that syntax variant would only apply for simple rules > that don't need exceptions. So I would never bother to include a new variant. It's messy, and mess means bugs.
