1stPage 2000 & vbscript

[LKG]

I'm new to 1st Page. I use VBscript a fair amount, and I'm not sure how useful 1st Page will be for that. For example, the editing preferences page under Options handles Javascript keywords, etc. and the editor recognizes the Javascript doubleslash (//) as a comment character as well as the HTML <!-- >, but it doesn't recognize the VBscript apostrophe. Is there anything I can do about that?

In my opinion, perhaps the best option is for Evrsoft to develop a parser that understands the syntax highlighting profiles of established text editors, like VIM (i.e. read their syntax files directly). In this way, 1st page can immediately (sort of) recognize 100s of different file types and provide syntax highlighting for countless number of file types without ever develop another syntax highlighting system of its own.

I also enter a lot of VBScript using IstPage here at the SITEL Wide Area Network Department.

If you have an entry:

<p>Today's date is <%=DATE()%></p>

the delimiters are NOT greened as they would be in the following:

<%
Response.Write DATE()
%>

No big deal - it all works when you FTP the ASP to your server!
