Tcl

Thanks for the offer to help with the Tcl formatting. I was really just looking to go back to what we had before as that mostly was working well. ;–)

The Tcl language is a tricky one to do perfectly correctly (I wrote a syntax highlighter for emacs's tcl-mode many years ago, so I know what I'm talking about) so typically it's easier to use an approximation and GeSHi isn't far off what's needed (apart from a few updates to the list of standard commands, which should be trivial anyway and doesn't need to be hurried). No time to go into great depth about it today though; I have a snowstorm to beat home… –Donal Fellows 13:34, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

Well, there was an erronous regexp in the comment section that caused a bit of trouble. I disabled it for now.

Well, I'm also working together with someone on the J language file that looks totally illogical to me ... Tcl at least presents a tiny bit of logic.

I'll have some more time to work on language files soon. --BenBE 23:06, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

VBScript

Regarding syntax highlighting for vbscript, using the vb or vb.net definitions would be quite adequate to start with. @Axtens
