Hm, I really should get familiar with the HIG.

It's not a hard thing as Doxygen figures most of it out by itself.
There's only one config file a sample of which can be autogenerated
and then easily edited (not that there's not much to edit...).
I've used it so far only with C++, though.

How about your experience with regular expressions?

I'll do a working (though less-than-perfect) version in configure.ac
format by tomorrow or friday. It depends on whether I get home late
or not tomorrow.

My advice is to try the latter one - guess there's not much docs for Glade
anyway, and it's quite straight-forward IMO.

Another thing: I'd like to have line numbering with a nice (probably
adjustable) border on the left. I have a problem with text glueing
at the most outer left of my screen.
Do you have any ideas on line numbering? The border should be no problem
of course.
