Had to go looking for libpcre, here's the homepage:
www.pcre.org

bluefish-0.9 and pcre-4.2 seems to do it here.

[»] buggy highlighting
by Pilot - Jun 5th 2002 04:16:37

PHP is highlighted by default, and you can't turn it off. For example, if you type align=justify, then "if" inside "justify" will be blue anyway. And user-defined buttons would be very useful. The rest is great. CoffeeCup sucks !

Try the snapshots of the gtk-2 port, there is a new highlighting engine!

[»] screwed up highlighting in 0.10
by FiXato - Jul 17th 2003 07:24:07

I just downloaded the latest release (0.10), and it just screwed up my highlighting.
With the previous version which I was running (the one that was distributed with MDK9.1) I never had any problems...
also the selection of several highlights was better in previous function, AFAIK you cannot select a specific highlight now, and have to use the predefined...

but the rest has improved much!
no more hangups during highlight refresh or slow copy/paste with highlighting on.
Better GUI (although I miss the close buttons on every open documenttab).
Nice Project Feature. Good rightclick menu. and more :D
