Yep. The client code for the even/odd List is really simple. Something like this: for (int i=0; i<list.size(); i++) { if (i%2 == 1) sb.append("<b>"); sb.append(handyXmlQuotingMethod(list.get(i))); if (i%2 == 1) sb.append("</b>"); }
We wouldn't even have to complicate the API -> just trigger this functionality based on hl.formatter. hl.formatter=interleave? -Mike
