Re: New driver for Text_Highlighter

This is interesting suggestion. I do like the idea of adding KATE syntax definition support to Text_Highlighter, although there are 2 points: 1) You may have noticed from release history that I am trying to improve speed of highlighting. PHP is not the best tool for test processing from speed aspect. Your class was about 2.5 times slower compared to latest version of Text_Highlighter. Would be great if you find a way to make it faster. I did not dive into your code, so I do not have ideas on speeding it up at the moment 2) Support of syntax definition parsing should be added to the generator -- highlighter should only highlight text. I have not examined the KATE files syntax deeply, but from what I have seen, I think a converter can be created to transform those files to native Text_Highlighter format.
