Me too. I tried them both. ConText and the Lily
highlighter worked fine straight out of the box (although I
needed to make it case sensitive to correctly pick up the
keywords) and I find it suits my style of working very
well - usually with lots of files open; I failed to get
jEdit to work even half right under MS XP and I've now
deleted it.
