Is this a known Bug, or is there a workaround for this issue?

It is a known problem, but it is asigned a low priority due to dying ASP and low demand.

Syntax highlighting is open-source, so you can actually contribute by re-coding the syntax parser yourself if this is very important to you. Info on how to do this is provided in Help file.

Hi Karlis,

Please don't diss ASP - there are a lot of us out here using (classic) ASP :)

I don't feel the need to start with .NET because it is serious overkill for my clients and my projects.

I have many projects and clients using ASP, so I need a strong editor for a long time to come!

If anything, I am picking up PHP as a potential replacement down the road.

I have been using HomeSite since the early days and just recently switched to HTMLPad.
