The colour scheme chosen by Textpad (my favorite replacement for Notepad) - textpad.com for coloring C and C++ seems good -and mine only slightly better ;-)
My view is that color is a massive hit in helping people to read code, especially if it can be applied uniformly, something that Boost could 'impose'.
yes, but then we'd need (at least I would :) an automation tool to provide this if I'm not mistaken (parse the <pre> </pre> sections, etc.). Not that I'm against it - it's a wonderful idea, but someone should do it. Or perhaps it already exists and I'm not aware of ;) Best, John -- John Torjo -- john@torjo.com Contributing editor, C/C++ Users Journal -- "Win32 GUI Generics" -- generics & GUI do mix, after all -- http://www.torjo.com/win32gui/ -- v1.4.0 - save_dlg - true binding of your data to UI controls! + easily add validation rules (win32gui/examples/smart_dlg)
