        As a result, some edit modes written for jEdit 4.0 and earlier need to
        be updated:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>Defining <code class="literal">&lt;WHITESPACE&gt;</code> rules is no
                longer necessary and doing so will print warnings to the
                activity logs.</p></li><li><p>The <code class="literal">&lt;KEYWORDS&gt;</code> tag no longer
                accepts an <code class="literal">IGNORE_CASE</code> attribute. Set the
                <code class="literal">IGNORE_CASE</code> attribute of the
                <code class="literal">&lt;RULES&gt;</code> tag instead.</p></li><li><p>The <code class="literal">&lt;END&gt;</code> tag of the
                <code class="literal">&lt;SPAN&gt;</code> rule used to be optional, in
                which case any occurrence of the start string would cause the
                remainder of the buffer to be highlighted with the span. In
                jEdit 4.1, the <code class="literal">&lt;END&gt;</code> tag can no longer
                be omitted, however a <code class="literal">&lt;SEQ&gt;</code> tag with a
                <code class="literal">DELEGATE</code> attribute can be used to achieve the
                same effect as endless span.</p></li><li><p>Defining <code class="literal">&lt;SEQ TYPE="NULL"&gt;</code> rules
                for word separators is no longer necessary. Now, any
                non-alphanumeric character not appearing in a keyword definition
                or the ruleset's <code class="literal">NO_WORD_SEP</code> attribute is
                considered a word separator.</p></li></ul></div></div><div class="navfooter"><hr><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="updating-modes.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="updating-modes.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="currentmodeformat.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">Chapter 12. Updating Edit Modes </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> From jEdit 4.2 to 4.3</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
