syntax highlighting is kind of tricky esp since we can have either 
correct syntax or faulty (can be educational)

this is why the pretty printers work in a rather dumb non validating 
mode; however, in mkii we also have parser based variants for xml pretty 
printing

in mkiv i will provide only a few pretty printers, i.e. the ones needed 
for my manuals; these will be organized under pre-*

in addition i will provide a user installable variant but i need to 
think about it a bit; we also need more verbose names then so that there 
can be multiple pretty printers per file type; (i will also make a basic 
configureable mapper but that's for later)

so, we can have both validating and non validating pretty printing and 
multiple variants

in any case .. keep making and testing them .. i'll try to cook up the 
plug in mechanism and naming scheme asap

Hans


ps. dtd declaration etc ... i shall provide a pretty printer based on th 
ebuild in xml parser (kind of like what we have in mkii); of course this 
leaves along non validated coloring
