Pascal syntax highlighter treats backslash as escape character

Recommended Posts

Something that has been annoying me for awhile.  When posting a code snippet and choosing the Pascal syntax highlighter, backslashes are treated as C/C++ escape sequences, which throws off the coloring.  The actual Pascal language doesn't treat backslash as an escape character.  Can this be fixed?

Good idea - I'll file an enhancement proposal that Pascal be fixed to treat backslash as an escape character. No more #13#10 in the era of Unicode... :classic_biggrin:

That's a strange way to write sLineBreak 🙂

As for me, I'm honestly too lazy to select Pascal language every time in the combobox so leave default HTML (yeah, HTML is default on Delphi forum)

This has already been brought up right at the start of this forum. If it were just a simple setting to be changed, I am pretty sure it would have been accomplished long ago.

Took me less than 5 minutes to find this and another 5 minutes to try it out with chrome dev tools.

Perhaps we should forward this to @Daniel
