QuickInfo

You could set the text to display in the tip by handling the TokenMouseHover event and looking for the IsCollapsedNode property set to true in the event args. Then set the event arg's ToolTipText property.

How do I get the complete listing of the collapsed node's text in the TokenMouseHover event ?

Something like this should work: Make sure you HTML escape it though since the quick info tip uses markup tags and the <, >, and & characters need to be escaped.

Thanks that was helpful but now the quickinfo display does not show newlines. This is what I have :
Private Sub editor_TokenMouseHover(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As ActiproSoftware.SyntaxEditor.TokenMouseEventArgs) Handles editor.TokenMouseHover
If e.IsCollapsedNode = True Then
Dim node As OutliningNode = editor.Document.Outlining.RootNode.FindNodeRecursive(e.Token.StartOffset)
e.ToolTipText = System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(node.Text)
end if

Whereas the partial display that the quickinfo currently displays (without my changes) displays correctly
with newlines - so what do I need to do to fix that ?

Ahh yes, you need to replace the "\n" character with "<br/>". Since the formatter uses a markup like HTML, you need to specify the line breaks using a tag.
