Rust language syntax highlighting issue

[Teknomancer]

Function definitions does not get proper syntax highlighting when lifetime parameters are specified using < and >.

I'm using SlickEdit Pro 2018 (v23.0.2.0 64-bit)

Attached a picture that shows this problem (see "parse_number" vs "parse_operator" in the pic).

This is a known limitation of the color coding.  parse_operator is not followed by an open paren (it is followed by a '<' character).  "Function" color is simply an identifier followed by a paren.

You can customize the color coding for Rust to handle this case.  Document > Rust Options... > Color Coding > Tokens > Add Other

   Type:  Function
   Start Delimeter:  :v(#= *\<[^>]*\> *\()            SlickEdit regex

This expression does not handle nested angle brackets.  I leave that as an exercise for the reader.

Thanks, that worked! Will look at nesting later.
