st: How to fix 2 errors in Notepad++ syntax highlighting?

[Bert Lloyd <bert.lloyd.89@gmail.com>]

Dear Statalist,

I am using the excellent syntax highlighting for Notepad++ found at

http://code.google.com/p/notepad-stats-integration/

and have encountered two minor errors.

1) Compound double-quotes don't seem to get recognized properly, and
occasionally you have to put
// "
at the end of a line to "close" a compound double-quote.

2) It doesn't seem to distinguish between * at the beginning of a line
(indicating comment) and in the middle of a line (indicating
multiplication or, in Mata, pointer).

Have others managed to fix these?

Notepad++ is such an enormous improvement over the stock do-file
editor and it would be great to get syntax highlighting really working
right - it's 99.9% of the way there.

Best,
BL
