Syntax Highlighting

[iifste2020]

On lower end machines the syntax highlighting really slows down the online editor on large projects.

Thanks. For now, I've added an option to disable syntax highlighting, which is in the new "Options" menu with dark/light theme.

Thanks. However line numbers no longer sync when highlighting is off.

Ah, that's interesting. The line numbers should work now -- it's a less efficient fix, but it's not doing all the regex matching and replacing so hopefully it will be ok - let me know if you can!
Otherwise I could introduce an ultra-efficient mode using just a plain textarea, with no syntax highlighting OR line numbers.

Thanks. Unfortunately this less efficient fix is still very slow on low end machines. I'm using an old netbook with 1gb ram and (for example) editing The Party Line is difficult. Obviously using old equipment will cause issues. Your alternative may be helpful here. Thanks again.

OK. For now I've disabled line numbers too when syntax highlighting is off, giving you just a plain textarea, which should be usable if basic.
Looks like I need to incorporate CodeMirror or something similar to sort this.

Thanks, this works great now.
