The TERMINATE
rule, which must be placed inside a
RULES
tag, specifies that parsing should stop
after the specified number of characters have been read from a line. The
number of characters to terminate after should be specified with the
AT_CHAR
attribute. Here is an example:
<TERMINATE AT_CHAR="1" />
This rule is used in Patch mode, for example, because only the first character of each line affects highlighting.
