As a research project, I need to build a plug-in that will do some
C-language refactoring (elimination of globals, "method" extraction,
etc.). To get that working, I need a few pointers on:

(1) how to highlight multiple lines (or regions) in the editor
(2) how to change the DOM so it will change the source (or do I do it
the other way around?)

any help will be appreciated.

thanks,

Zachi

You won't get an answer for this. You need to try to find these things
out yourself, and if you can't, show what you have done so that we can
see what you've done and correct it. Try to read into some AST (abstract
syntax tree) first.

The DOM will not rewrite the source, so yes, you do it the other way
around: modify the source and recreate the DOM.
