Personally, I've noticed in the last few days that I don't actually trust syntax highlighting very much to tell me where the end of a complicated string literal is, particularly when it uses complex features like multiline strings, escapes, and interpolations. Xcode and TextMate *are* both usually pretty reliable, but not always, and I have a lot of experience with older text editors with worse highlighting. As a result, I seem to automatically dismiss "obviously wrong" highlighting. -- Brent Royal-Gordon Architechies _______________________________________________ swift-evolution mailing list [email protected] https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-evolution
