Rainbow code

[cormullion]

I was fascinated by the discussion this week on code colouring - enough to want to try out various schemes for myself... So I've whipped up a quick newLISP-GS app for exploring them via HTML styles. Basically I've quickly merged two projects to produce this one:

It's very much a hack, and prone to crashing, but you may find it fun...



I'd be interested to see it running on your machine...?!



(PS: If you're not using a UTF8 system, you may have to replace the utf8len functions with length...)

Nice work cormullion... ;-)



The code does run here, partly ;-)

...first time i saw the unicode catch, Though I cant update the color

fields...everytime I type a new color it resets to the old value...



if you type this in the input field ->

9870987098709870987098709870987097890870978.....etc..

it moves to -1 in the output field, not a bug probably a format issue...



Ill have a closer look in the code... ;-)

Oh rats... I was hoping it would run OK on someone else's machine...



Any input in all but the first field (font-size) should be truncated to six chars and prefixed with a #.



It's supposed to look like this:

Perhaps it's a locale issue?



Sorry!
