Thanks! On your page http://www.jedit.org/index.php?page=features, can you
replace the letter "D" with <a href="http://www.digitalmars.com/d/"
title="The D Programming Language">D</a> ?

Sorry, not my page, I'm just a happy user.

But I can pass along the request.

All it does so far is syntax highlighting. It also delegates
to the Doxygen mode if you embed Doxygen comments in your code
(which I do), like the C and C++ modes also do now.

It hasn't gotten a huge amount of testing, but if anyone finds any
bugs or has any ideas for improving it, please let me know.

When using "r" for Wysiwyg strings, the text after the first Wysiwyg string is
still highlighted as if it were part of the first string, until the next quote.

highlighted

Sorry if this is not the place for this post.  Is there another forum this
should go?

Short answer: writefln(r"c:\\", r"d:\\");

Long answer:
The backslash is in many cases considered as a "literal" character, which means
that the next character is to be taken literally as part of the string. For
example, \" means that the character " is supposed to be part of the string. In
your case the resulting string is:
c:", r
and then the string ends (I guess your example didn't compile?). To use an
actual backslash character as part ot the string, use \\

I noticed that putting in the extra backslash fixed the highlighting.  But that
"r" in front of the string says to treat the string exactly as it's typed and
not to interpret any backslashes as escape characters.  So if I do put in the
extra backslash, I'll have two.

I don't know if jEdit can do that type of special case highlighting.

It's not a big thing, just a nicety. :)

I think that's the case:

 From http://www.digitalmars.com/d/lex.html#stringliteral:

Wysiwyg quoted strings are enclosed by r" and ". All characters between 
the r" and " are part of the string except for EndOfLine which is 
regarded as a single \n character. There are no escape sequences inside 
r" ":

	r"hello"
	r"c:\root\foo.exe"
	r"ab\n"	  string is 4 characters, 'a', 'b', '\', 'n'

No escape sequences? How would it then be possible to have the string
"JCC" (including the ") in there?
r"My handle is "JCC""
wouldn't work very well, would it?

That's the whole point.

Use the other notation:

`My handle is "JCC"`

This should work, too:

"My handle is \"JCC\""

(Note the absence of the leading "r".)

I've fixed the problem with highlighting raw strings, and also added
highlighting of the /+ ... +/ comment form (with the caveat that it
doesn't yet handle nested comments). I'm trying to find out if it
is even possible for Jedit's syntax mode to handle nested comments.

The updated mode has been submitted to the Jedit maintainer, but if
anyone wants it before the next release, just drop me an email.

Does this mean that it highlights as C, C++ or D according to the 
extension, but uses the Doxygen mode specifically to highlight the comments?

I noticed a typo on the webpage: DOxygen instead of Doxygen.  Not to 
mention Latex instead of LaTeX if that's what's meant....

Sort of. In the XML that defines the syntax for each language, there is
a definition for a Doxygen comment. If the language mode encounters one
of those forms in the source, it delegates all syntax highlighting *inside*
the special comment to the Doxygen mode. Normal comments are highlighted by
the source language mode, as are all non-comment lines.
