Is there a (scintilla) lexer for reStructuredText? With a quick look at lexer names, I didn't see one. With that same quick look, I came across the lexer LexTxt2tags.cxx and looked at that a little--it looks like some of the stuff there is (or could be easily adaptable for my lexer for Foswiki / TWiki. What is that lexer for--is there a markup language named Txt2tags? Oh, ok, I googled, yes there is, and I guess I'll spend a little time (a few minutes) looking at that. (For Lex: it will save me from thinking about lexing UTF-8, recursive descent parsers, switch / case statements, and if / else chains ;-) > > - I don't know COBOL but I think it's a programming language isn't > > it? > > Well, it was in the 1970s, but I do remember someone asking about it > recently so it must be still used. Actually, it was also in the 1950s. Or, at least, the first specification was completed in December, 1959, and it is still used, a lot--there is a lot of legacy code out there. But not (used) by me! ;-) And, just for the record, no, I'm not that old. I'm actually the same age as Jack Benny. (Should I explain the joke / humor? Jack Benny was a comedian who, whenever he was asked his age, claimed to be 29.)
