Syntax Highlighter’s taste of XML

Just thought I’d post what I just finished coding up….so far this is outside of the working project; but I will reintegrate this soon and start work on recoding the finding/highlighting part to use the new stuff. With the way this is set up I can’t think of languages that won’t work well with it; but I’m sure some exist.

A copy of the current output of my LanguageDefinition.xml file follows the break, and it was generated using the XmlSerializer and an instance of my LanguageDefinition class. I’ve slightly edited the output to remove the XML namespace stuff from the LanguageDefinition element since it was making the content too wide.
