Method GTK2.SourceBuffer()->set_escape_char()

Method set_escape_char

GTK2.SourceBuffer set_escape_char(int escape_char)

Description

Sets the escape character to be used by the highlighting engine.

When performing the initial analysis, the engine will discard a matching syntax pattern if it's prefixed with an odd number of escape characters. This allows for example to correctly highlight strings with escaped quotes embedded.

This setting affects only syntax patterns.
