2I'd love to support i18n identifiers properly, but JS doesn't have support for unicode character classes. Replacing every \w in a regex with several kB of unicode character ranges would bloat the download. If you have any ideas about how to support i18n identifiers without exploding download sizes, I'd love to here them.Mike Samuel– Mike Samuel2009-12-10 18:27:20 +00:00Commented Dec 10, 2009 at 18:27

I found this question looking at how to get syntax highlighting working in a code editor extension. It's a shame that the question is marked as a duplicate. That cited question is not very helpful, at least not directly.Fuhrmanator– Fuhrmanator2019-12-27 18:32:48 +00:00Commented Dec 27, 2019 at 18:32

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. stack-overflow), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
