Robert, thanks for the reply.
I suppose my real question is this: is IDE-esque syntax checking, as
described below, do-able in SciTE via Lua scripting? Or is that a bit
outside its scope? (In which case I'll be relocating to the
wxPython-users list.)
Since I do not use Lua scripting in SciTE, I have no idea whether it
is "Turing-complete" :), i.e., can you do anything in it that you can
do with C++ code "inside" the editor itself... but I expect the answer
is "no". OTOH, you may not need this level of functionality to
accomplish your ends.
I mentioned the "custom PHP lexer" thing since I *do* have some
understanding of those, and you know the old "when you are carrying a
hammer, everything looks like a nail"... :)
I'm using SciTE for PHP development and I'd like to be able to
syntax-check my code whenever there's is a pause in user activity
(i.e. no key or mouse events for 1 second or so) using "php -l
$(FilePath)" -- unless doing a find in files or running a command,
etc. If there are any syntax errors, I'd like them to be indicated
visually, perhaps with a red squiggle underline. If I were to hover
the mouse over an offending line of code I'd like to see what is wrong
with it, perhaps in a tool-tip pop up.
