Hello,
I've added a feature request to add a coffeescript lexer to scintilla
here:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3436256&group_id=2439&atid=352439
and
will hopefully start on it when the semester's over (December). Also, does
anyone know:
1) If the lexer needs to be written in c++ (will the lua one Matthew found
work?)
2) if it's a bad idea to test this in geany? (I intentionally added the
request to scintilla, and can work on it in scite if that's a better idea)
3) if this will cover everything needed for coffeescript in geany once it's
done (we'll still need a filetypes.coffee, right? which is just a .conf file
that contains the keywords, comment markers, and a few other small things,
correct?)
Thanks for any info, and I hope to work on this soon!
Hi Josh,
taking your points in turn.
-1) re the post on Scintilla. Scintilla and Scite already support the
scintillua parser you referenced, nothing to do there, move along
please :)
0) but Geany does not support scintillua or any other external lexer.
I had a quick look once but decided it was "too hard" (tm)
1) no, see -1)
2) the thing that needs adding to Geany is external lexer support,
there is nothing to do in scintilla/scite since they already have it.
3) some mappings are needed inside Geany, see Matthew's recent patch
for objective C as an example.
3b) Ctags/TagManager support if you want symbols in the tree,
auto-complete and such. We use Scintilla lexers only for
styling/colouring and separate Ctags lexers for tag management stuff.
Cheers,
Matthew Brush
