List of suggested Syntax Highlighting improvements

[GoogleCodeExporter]

* <script> code
* bold directives (option to decide for bold highlighting the respective 
directive)
* xml attribute (different highlighting to xml tag)
* velocity variable within strings
* option to disable directive highlighting of enything within brackets: I want 
to use my variable highlighting within #set/#if/#foreach and I also want to see 
if I set a string (string highlighting) or an integer (no special highlighting)

1. The XML attribute color is already different from tags, I think. If you want 
XML attribute suggestion. You might need to include XML DTD properly.
2. About the <script>, I don't quite understand what you mean.
3. The Velocity variable within strings should be offered by "Word Completion". 
Does it  failed to display?
4. bold directives and option to disable directive highlighting is 
considerable. It might be added in the future version.

At present I am working on "Context Injection" so that we can offer precise 
variable member suggestion by using Java reflection.

Thanks for your feedback! Best regards~

This feature request is all about syntax highlighting - nothing about 
suggestion or auto completion - just highlighting via different colors and 
font-styles. This issue is just a list of things, where I personally think a 
syntax highlighting for that would be useful.

re 1. Nope. The color is not different and not adjustable in preferences.
re 2. If I add script-tags (e.g. defining javascript) to my 
velocity-template-page I want a different color than plain black.
re 3. I want the configured syntax highlighting for variables applied within 
strings (and directives too), so that I can easy spot variables scattered among 
them.
re 4. Don't forget italic (and maybe underlined) as well.   ;-)
