I'm working on a mode for the rebol programming language.
The mode is derived from scheme (using 'define-derived-mode)
Rebol uses ^ (caret) as the escape character.
The syntax table is installed with the following relevant code:
(modify-syntax-entry ?^ "\\ ")
When the mode is loaded Alt-x describe-syntax shows the following
relevant output:
^ \ which means: escape
Unhappily though, when I place the follow sequence: ^"
inside of a string, the syntax highlighting following that sequence
fails to render properly.
What else do I need to do?
What documentation is available for this topic?
Thanks
