Is physical appearance of the text editor something that can be supported by an extension?
This is a pretty neat VS-Code extension and it works on .clw files.
In short, I think this tool colors the left side indenting on the selected lines?
An OMIT('***') will color the background grey. Looking at options that appears to be a special highlight feature for Clarion.
I wonder if a region of code could be a “Span” that has a Tag on the Line Before and After? E.g. in the span !G!! to !!G!end the background is colored light Green instead of the normal white. That way I could put some Tags around code I am interested, or working on, and have the background colors be different. Those tags would be retained on save.
I took a quick look at the Highlight settings and see Spans. I tried to setup my own GREEN span but did not figure it out.
I did change OMIT to be colored Green, which is what I was trying for my !G!! to !!G!end span.

Pretty cool Carl.
Where’s that editor in the IDE? Or is that one of your custom utilities?
