[Openmcl-devel] Contrib: syntax-styling

[Alexander Repenning]

Nice work, I like it.

Even with the limited temp text attributes could you add bold and  
italics?

At the moment it does not work well with anticipatory-symbol- 
completion. Is there I method that I would have to call when inserting  
a completion to trigger colorization?
