Another thing you can do when you get this kind of syntax error --
which is almost always a missing language structure character -- is to
use the Prettify selection over the suspect code. It will indent and
space out the code to make it easier to see the problem.
I don't like the way Prettify aggressively adds white space and extra
returns to my code in general, so I just Undo the operation once I can
see the problem.
Prettify is a powerful debug aid.
Best regards,
Dennis
