[Typo3-dev] code highlighting for Quixplorer

[Mads Brunn]

I just like the idea of editing php-files online with code highlighting. 
I often edit extensions directly using the Extension manager. E.g. when 
  I'm away from home and the only way of getting online is visiting an 
internet cafe (which usually don't install programming editors on their 
workstations).
