Breaking news. I have been using EditPad Lite for a long time. It has been invaluable for editing UTF-8, ANSI and ASCII with automatic recognition of the encoding according to file type (I use TXT for UTF-8, TXA for ANSI and TXB for ASCII to keep them separate). The editor is one of the best in all other respects, too. Now then, I tried many programmer's editors to get Xy text modes show as I have texts that are interspersed with ample formatting changes. No avail. Finally I bought the Pro version of EditPad and contacted the author Jan Goyvaerts for support. He made syntax highlighting file for Xy3 which shows that this editor can do it. As of now, it does just the most fundamental things, but the good news is there is a highlighting editor that enables customization. The syntax highlighting is based on Regex which I am no expert on. If someone else is interested by this development and has Regex skills, I would gladly correspond privately in order to produce better Xy3 and Xy4 coloring schemes for EditPad. These would then be eventually published on the EditPad site for the benefit of Xy users at large.
