Begin/end matching of < and > for C++

[alex]

I was trying to get SlickEdit to give me begin/end matching for <> (for use with templates), but I don't see how to do this.  The begin/end pairs box is grayed out when I go to the File Extension Settings options, and the help file says that this happens when the code for this behavior has been specialized for the language.  Does this mean that the behavior is this hard-coded into the SlickEdit source code, or is there a way to get this matching to work by changing one of the Slick-C files?

Hi Alex,

That is a very good suggestion.  I have filed a feature request in our tracking system.  Hopefully we can integrate this into a future release.

You could also try

Code: [Select]

set-var def_pmatch_charson cmdline and append <> to the exisiting set.
