[ESS] no syntax highlighting/colors for text between quotes in iESS

[Ramon Diaz-Uriarte]

Sorry if I was not clear: I am not referring to outputs, but to
inputs. Something like

plot(x, y, log = "x")

or

setwd("~/some_path")

or any other input that is quoted.

(And in those cases I personally like the highlighting)

Best,


R.
