Cheers, Matthew Brush [1] http://ctags.sourceforge.net/EXTENDING.html ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.geany.org https://lists.geany.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devel Ok, so I've been looking at the CTags tutorial you posted, and it really looks pretty easy, especially using regex, but there is one thing I can't find. Would you happen to know if when using regex it's possible to have mulitple regexes? For example, the tutorial has this: |addTagRegex (language, ^def[ \t]*([a-zA-Z0-9_]+), \\1, d,definition, NULL);| Which is using the regex to create tags labelled 'definition' (unless I'm missing something). But since QML supports javascript I at the very least want to have it recognize Items/Components, and functions. And I'd eventually like to have it label the Items/Components by ID if it's present. Now I know there's also the callback method, but for now, do you know if it will work to have addTagRegex appear multiple times? Also, I can't seem to find anything on how I'll even test this, do you know if ctags can maybe be run from terminal or something??? Anyways, I know I'm asking a lot of questions, so thanks for all the help. ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.geany.org https://lists.geany.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devel

I think this idea of using same version sounds good, at least we won't be causing additional noise in diffs due to different versions writing stuff out in different ways. One might hope so, but 3.8.1 causes massive noise, see: http://lists.geany.org/pipermail/devel/2012-January/006418.html Yeah, that's why I was saying maybe we should do like we (ideally) do with the geany.txt file; make the changes and commit the text changes, and then as a separate commit, generate the HTML and commit the noisy one. If we did this, at least we could be sure that it won't be the next person who edits the file's job to figure out if saving the file will break it (like it will at present if anyone tries to edit it with any version of Glade). I've just seen 3.14.2 is available for windows though. In my experience, after Glade 3.8(.X) it got *much* worse; very very much slower with big files like geany.glade, and crashing so much I had to get into the habit of saving after every single action. I think I only tested up to 3.10 though, so it might've stabilized since the massive GTK3 disruptions in its code base.

Have you tried to see if the javascript lexer and parser work well enough for QML? its supposed to be based on js.

Now I know there's also the callback method, but for now, do you know if it will work to have addTagRegex appear multiple times? Yeah, I think you can call it multiple times, see COBOL parser, for example: https://sourceforge.net/p/**ctags/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/**cobol.chttps://sourceforge.net/p/ctags/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/cobol.c Also, I can't seem to find anything on how I'll even test this, do you know if ctags can maybe be run from terminal or something??? ctags is actually a command-line (only) program, the fork we have in Geany was an attempt by the/an Anjuta developer to make it into a library for use by IDEs and such. So yeah, your best bet is to check out CTags SVN code, add your parser to it, so you can test it standalone, and also it has the advantage that it will be fully compatible with upstream CTags so you can contribute it to that project first and all of its users will be able to use CTags for QML code. Once you have it all working, it should be quite trivial to move it into Geany.

Looks like the js lexer works ok, but the parser simply treats QML constructs as data and skips them, oh well. Not sure how easy a regex parser will be, IIUC QML symbols are specified as the id: property inside the object, meaning you need to handle nested context.
