If you want a graphical editor that supports this out of the box (well, not exactly out of the box - but it's a plugin module) you could try JEdit - http://jedit.sourceforge.net It's very powerful, flexible, extensible (and probably other good things ;c) but it's written in Java, so it's relatively_ 'heavy', and as far as I know isn't packaged for Debian, although the Java installer works fine. If you use multiple platforms it will, of course, run on anything that has a decent Java VM. -- Geoff Beaumont [EMAIL PROTECTED]
