Thank you for the syntax highlighting. How do I get gedit to
automatically recognize a .m file as an Octave file?
I notice that the highlighting cannot distinguish between a transpose
and an unterminated string. That sounds like a hard problem.
There is a GPL matlab-mode for emacs that gets this right:

You're right, it is a hard problem. The worst part is, it never needed
to be--we could just use " " for strings (an octave idea) and not use '
' (a Matlab idea). Blame the MathWorks for that one.
