Syntax Highlighter

[sage]

It makes sense to set the defaultstyle parameter value of all highlighters to "Normal"

<Highlighter name="Oberon" defaultstyle="Normal">
<Highlighter name="XML" defaultstyle="Normal">
...

because when increasing fontsize in styles the result looks weird

Yes, it does.

But it also means that the formatting of the original text is completely ignored. Then again, the best syntax highlighting results are achieved by doing so.
Originally I thought it would be nice to be able to mix up manual with automatic highlighting - but storing just some "magic" parts of the text formatting was simply too confusing.

-> At the end of the day the syntax highlighting doesn't make much sense on formatted text.  That's why I started to store source code in ASCII respectively UTF-8 instead of the Oberon file format. This also eases interoperation with the none-Oberon world.
