Thanks very much for that Jean-Philippe. I will give modelines a try.

I'm excited about creating my own "note" language highlight syntax as then I can make use of the whole spectrum of highlight features that gedit gives me. I really do depend on my notes (and therefore gedit) as an "extension" of my memory.
