Enhanced Text Editor Functionality

[kennyparsons]

Would be great if the text editor was enhanced to support things like tabbing and basic syntax highlighting. Syntax highlights can be accomplished with https://highlightjs.org/

Can highlightjs highlight editable text?

[kennyparsons]

No, but the recommended method is to built the text editor + a preview. Much like github comments work. The "Write" tab and "Preview" tab.

The idea behind syntax highlighting is it can help identify errors in the nginx .conf file. Sublime text editor offers this and it's helped me quite a bit, as I often forget punctuation marks to complete each line.

tbh, I think most of the time, the config will be written elsewhere and copy pasted into anyways.

Today I’ll try to finish the syntax highlighting and send pull request

Hey @kennyparsons, great proposal with the multiple tabs. Had already started a first attempt with highlightjs in realtime to highlight the written code but this was connected with too many side-effects. Tab support is already solved by me and will be in the next release. If @foozzi implements a solution for hightlightning I will be happy to have a look at it.

EDIT: Nevermind, looks like foozzi implemented that library. GJ
