(although, I'll admit that this solution really seems like something that *should* be in Options dialog...)
Actually, I though so too when I tried to find the option myself
I'll add it to the option dialog in the next version...

Excellent!! Thank ye !!

Please check the options in "View / Highlight color values / File types". Make sure "HTML" is set.

Hah!! I was looking in Options dialog; I didn't even *think* to look at other menus entirely!!
Okay, problem solved now... (although, I'll admit that this solution really seems like something that ...

It should work if you use style tags or a style attribute.

Well, here is what I have, on my snippets page:
But *none* of the color fields show up in those colors, even though .css files work fine...

DerellLicht1

so... nobody has any insights into this at all??

*should* I expect html files to handle color codes the same as css files do?? seems logical to me...

???

I recently was editing a Thunderbird css file, and discovered that RJTE actually hilites the color codes in their color!!
That was amazing, and *really* handy when I was experimenting with codes; much easier than pulling up a color dialog every time...

However, in my html code, it does *not* hilite ...

I am passing this along just because I really like this font, and it works beautifully with RJTE

It uses something called ligatures, to combine multiple characters into a single character that is appropriate for the language.
The included image shows several of ...

and it's hard to justify paying for access to a process, for use in a free product...

Yeah, oopsie it was with regard to folder... but still you can use a text clip (I should have attached that screenshot earlier):
I hope it can be useful to you somehow.

Oh!! Yes, it is...
The LongDateTime hack that I used, was not ideal, because it still includes the seconds, which I don't find ...

If someone here is missing a brain, it's me, hands down :lol:

That "chars" folder I mentioned was... made by myself, no wonder you couldn't find it :oops:

:lol: :mrgreen:

Well, given all the helpful advice that you've given me over the years, I'm not going to object to an occasional oops ...

Have a look at Text clips, chars > insert current date, it's there. You need to define [[date]] as e.g. @d[dd/mm/yyyy] and [[time]] (in a row below) as @t[hh:mm] and then write [[date]] [[time]] as a desired result (however slash as a separator in dates has been changed to a hyphen).

sadly ...

Thank ye once again, @pjj !!!

Well, the first hour or so of testing has passed; I've had several lost blocks of text to type in, and not a single crash!!
I'll keep working (I'm on page 99 of 419 pages to work through, so it'll get good testing!!), but this is looking good!

I'm now on page 183, have typed in ...

I recently discovered that I can use F5 to insert date/time into a document...
That is something that I actually sometimes want to do... however, the long-form format that is being used, is not useful to me; I wish to specify my own format (in this case MM/DD/YY, HHMM)... is there some way to set ...

I think I finally found the issue. I've uploaded a new test version

https://www.rj-texted.se/downloads/TextEd.zip

If you have time - please try it out.

Okay, I just tested it out on the current problem line, and I was able to type it in successfully...
Cool!!

I'll keep testing...
btw, I've ...

Yep, definitely still happening. "The application seems to be frozen."
I let the dialog send the bug report to you directly.

Actually, I see what the issue is... apparently, I have the same problem with <br> as I have with <p> ...
I had re-enabled code explorer, thinking that the problem was solved ...
