Hi Paolo,

Great, thanks! This did the trick.
And it increased my understanding of gedit and of GNOME in general!

I skimmed over the gtksourceview documentation at http://projects.gnome.org/gtksourceview/ which gave rise to a follow-up question:
I would like to assign each pauir of {} and [] parentheses/brackets a special style but I don't seem to get this working...

Here is what I did:

(1) In latex.lang, I added the following block in the definitions section:
        <context id="parentheses" style-ref="parentheses">
            <keyword>\{</keyword>
            <keyword>\}</keyword>
            <keyword>\[</keyword>
            <keyword>\]</keyword>
        </context>

(2) In the styles-section of the same file, I added the line
        <style id="parentheses"        _name="Parentheses"   map-to="def:type"/>

(3) Of course, in my gedit style definition, I added the line
        <style name="latex:parentheses"           foreground="#white" bold="true"/>

But for some reason, the parentheses/brackets do not get displayed in bold white. I tried restarting gedit and even my entire machine -- without effect...

This is not crucial, but I'd be very grateful for advice.

Thanks a lot,
Holger
