[Qt-interest] Syntax Highlighter State Stack

[Neel Basu]

No The reason for which I am asking is QSyntaxHighlighter provides
int previousBlockState () const
void setCurrentBlockState ( int newState )
int currentBlockState () const
function which seems to keep track of state data in two integer variables.

But what I am trying to do is keeping a stack of states.
So I'll not make mush use of these Qt methods rather I'll use mine.

Thanks why I am asking to make sure am I running through a wrong track  ??
