HookDisplay() 2nd and 3rd parameters now work the same in the
main editing window and when one is in a list() or llist().
Thanks to Carlo Hogeveen for the suggestion.

New macro language function - thanks to Carlo Hogeveen for the documentation:

integer GetSynHiAttrs(integer is_cursorline,
integer text_address,
integer text_length,
string language_name,
integer attributes_address
[ , var integer color_mode
[ , integer default_attribute ]] )

Rest of documentation is in the read.me

RE:
> Tweaked ShowLineNumbers display.

Disclaimer: Normally I am not a user of TSE's line number option.
Context: Unlike in an unmodified TSE installation, my TSE border background color is not the same as my TSE text background color. My "Color Scheme" is "Dark by Carlo".

There is a lot wrong with the new vertical bar to the right of line numbers.
This is based on my assumption that it is supposed to function as a border between line numbers and text.

1.
The vertical bar is displayed when TSE's "Display Border Around Windows" configuration option is "Never".

2.
Its background color is that of TextAttr instead of CurrWinBorderAttr.

3.
On the current line its background color is that of CursorAttr instead of CurrWinBorderAttr.

4.
At the top the vertical bar is cut off instead of forming a T-shape with the window's top border.

In English:
Even when borders are OFF, if line numbers are ON, then there is now a text- and current-line-colored vertical bar in the text.
I think that its intention is fixable by giving it border properties.

But I like it that way :( Maybe needs to be configurable.

I definitely agree it should not be TextAttr.
But should it instead be LineNumbersAttr?

That is a good idea! I don't know how to do that at the
present time - it seems really hard! - but will definitely
give it a try!

So what should the new editor variable be called?
And what are its settings?

Thanks for the feedback!

No!
(As implied with everything I write: In my opinion.)
I thought about that too, but its function is that of a border, so it should be colored as one.

"LineNumberBorder": "When borders" (default), "Always", "Never".

If I have time (not immediately) I will try writing a temporary LiNumRepair extension that can both bridge users to the next TSE release as well as let us visually explore what I proposed.
