==Highlighting of [[Tcl]]==
===Braces aren't comments===
Is it possible to change the highlighting of Tcl so that sequences where there is an open and close brace on the same line are not highlighted as (presumably) comments? This makes expressions and one-liners much more difficult to read than they otherwise would be. For example, this is a one line <tt>if</tt>:
<lang tcl>if {[incr $a] == [list $b $c]} {puts [$d $a]} {error "$e $a"}</lang>
It's probably best for “{…}” to be not treated specially at all. (At some point we could also do with updating the list of ”keywords”, but that's nothing like as important.) —[[User:Dkf|Dkf]] 09:07, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

:(With compound keywords, the word after the listed keyword should also be highlighted.) OK, they're not formally keywords, but they should be formatted like they are. Also, “{...}” is ''never'' an indication of a comment, and “$” followed by alphanumerics should be formatted as a variable reference. —[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 09:58, 17 June 2009 (UTC)▼

===Variables===
A “$” followed by alphanumerics should be highlighted as a variable reference (if you highlight such things in other languages, of course). —[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 14:34, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
===Comments===
The comment regexp should (probably) be:
(?:^|[[{;])[ \t]*(#[^\n]*)
(However that is encoded in PHP, I don't know.) It doesn't handle multi-line comments but we're not really using those on RC anyway. —[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 14:34, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
