[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #60712] Editor : highlight statements that are not terminated by semicolon

[Nicholas Jankowski]

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #60712 (project octave):

just a thought, I could see things like this being implemented some how as a
user selectable action (in a dropdown menu perhaps, where we currently have
Commands/Fromat/Navigation, similar to how Notepad++ has Blank Operations, EOL
conversion, etc.) or as a toggle-able feature (similar to whitespace display
under View/Editor).  

forget the parser.  this would be simplest to implement as a braindead
"highlight ; terminated lines" command. activate the option then you can
scroll through your code and if you don't see the highlight where you ought,
you can add one.  The inverse could work as well, but I think signal-to-noise
would be better with the former.  it would get a bit more complicated if you
want it to highlight even with a trailing comment on the line, but i would
think that shouldn't be terribly difficult to identify since comment id is
already happening.
