I have debugging disabled, but my parenthesis highlighting is NOT disabled. Are we talking about the same parenthesis highlighting? Can you attach the screenshot of this "parenthesis highlighting is also disabled" to the mailing list? On Thu, Apr 30, 2020 at 12:36 AM Dexter Lagan wrote: >

Thanks for sharing. I see "Nested parentheses" only one way to represent tree structure. There are certainly other cleverer ways to do it. Once it appears, the representation of the tree transform (macro) may also be better. I'm looking forward to seeing better representation.
