Did the update fix your issues?

Here's the relevant part of the developer agreement:

"An Application may not download or install executable code. Interpreted code may only be used in an Application if all scripts, code and interpreters are packaged in the Application and not downloaded. The only exception to the foregoing is scripts and code downloaded and run by Apple's built-in WebKit framework."

You also have to remember that everything has to be in the same binary. So, for example, GPLed code can't be included.

IMHO the only feasable way would be to have the compiler/tool run on a server (see http://feedback.textasticapp.com/feedback/7730-remote-source-code-compilation/).

Erlang only has a single line comment that starts with "%", right?

For some reason, the syntax definition file also had "%" as the start character of a multiline comment. I've removed that.

Thank you. That sounds good!

There are a few things to consider here: You can use the pinch-to-zoom gesture to zoom out of the editor and quickly skim over the text. I don't want to fit the editor to the screen when doing that.

When you use a large font size, horizontal scrolling is probably what you want because otherwise it would wrap after just a few words.

I like to have a fixed word wrap position when coding to see when my lines are getting too long. (Guess I used a certain IDE too long where there is a vertical gray line at position 80 that reminds you to do a line break)

But I agree, this could be an editor option. I would probably have to disable zooming in this mode.

This is already implemented in 1.1 which should be available any time now.
