In other words, I am *already* eating my own dog food (in the PRs branch). It's easy to ignore the remaining coloring glitch. That's good news. There will be little risk in merging the PR into "devel." *Other notes* In retrospect, yesterday's study was possible at any time in the colorizer's history. Oh well, mistakes happen. I have some theories about why I never did the obvious study, but I'm happy to move on. Aha! The colorizer must be, in a limited sense, stateless. True, _recolor uses and manipulates the state of the line being colorized. However, it is *futile *to maintain any data *between *calls to _recolor. I shall remove all such ivars. Edward P. S. Heh. The Aha has revealed an unimportant edge case. After an @nocolor directive pauses coloring, what language should be in effect after a later @color directive? It could be either: - the previously active color, or - the default color that applies at the start of each node. It will be amusing to see what the legacy code does, but I shall not make any changes. EKR -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
