Hello,

Today, I'm happy to present you the Debian package glimmer, which is
part of the gnome section, and maintained by Joe Drew
<drew at debian.org>. 

This package contains : Programmer's editor with multiple windows and
syntax highlighting.

Glimmer is a simple code editor for use with just about any programming
language, which makes use of of the Gtk+ widget set and the GNOME libraries,
which includes drag and drop support.

It includes syntax and bracket highlighting, the ability to build from
within the editor, and support for saving sessions of many different code
files open at once. Most settings can be customised from within the editor.

Glimmer includes support for the following languages:
Ada, bash/sh, C, C++, FORTRAN, HTML, Java, Javascript, Latex, GNU Make,
Perl, PHP, Python, Lisp (guile, scheme, etc), SGML, SQL, Tcl/Tk, XML, XHTML,
and Z80 Assembly, to name a few.

Glimmer is also very extensible in the languages it supports for its syntax
highlighting. If support for your language of choice is not included, you
can write it very easily.

In addition to this, Glimmer is completely scriptable with python.

See http://glimmer.sourceforge.net for more information.
