Re: Namespace issues

Hello all, Greg was so kind to give me part of his awesome upcoming Pyrus code. He actually has it running with both ':::' and '\' as namespace separators. So I thought I'd help out a tiny tiny bit by giving you all the choice of having a look at actual working code: http://php.net/~helly/triplecolon.html http://php.net/~helly/triplecolon-colored.html http://php.net/~helly/backslash-colored.html http://php.net/~helly/backslash.html marcus Saturday, October 18, 2008, 11:03:50 PM, you wrote: > Hello William, > Friday, October 17, 2008, 7:57:53 PM, you wrote: >> Marcel Esser wrote: >>> Using ::: as a namespace seperator would be great. >> A general rule of telephony dialing and other data input, three of >> the same character will too often be entered or recognized as two >> or four characters due to user or mechanical error.
