Case Insensitive Syntax Highlighting [message #277896]

I am writing a plug-in for a case-insensitive language (like SQL). The code
samples that I am working with don't really show how I can make a
case-insensitive word rule.

The code sample from JDG2E simply specifies each keyword in both upper and
lower case for the WordRule. This means that "SELECT" and "select" will be
highlighted, but "Select" and "SeLeCt" should also be a match because SQL is
a case insensitive language.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for the best way to add case
insensitive syntax highlighting?

Thanks!

Dunno about "best way", but I simply implemented my own
"CaseInsensitiveWordRule" that otherwise worked just like "WordRule".

I posted a solution on how to do this a few days ago. See my replies
under "[Syntax Highlighting] Colouring specific keywords??".
