1. Possible enhancement for the <eucode> tag.
It just occurred to me that, since keywords and library routines are
highlighted inside the }}}
<eucode>...</eucode>
{{{
tag, the highlighting
could be made into a link to the relevant section of library.htm or
refman.htm.
And perhaps this scheme could be extended to some well known libraries
that appear frequently enough in posts in the forum. First candidates
could be wxEuphoria, win32lib and euSQL, and more as need grows.
This could, I think, help newcomers better understand the code snippets
which are posted here, and make their discovery of/migration to Eu easier.
A problem might arise if the same routine name is used in several libraries.
In that case, parsing the include statements that appear in the text should
often disambiguate the identifier. If this fails, then highlight without
a link.
Would that be a good idea? RDS: would that be a reasonably implementable
idea?

I think that's an awesome idea!
That, and a preview option...

Gah! The eucode tag didn't get closed. I hate that!
