The documentation for Scintillua says "The environments of
Scintilla-based applications vary greatly, but as long as external
lexers are supported, Scintillua can be dropped into any existing
installation."

Geany does not support external lexers, so it can't use Scintillua.

[Geany-Devel] Scintillua again.

2016-10-20 Thread rhkramer 
As far as I can tell from reading some old posts and requests, Geany does not 
support Scintillua.

I am neither a C nor C++ programmer (although I am making some feeble efforts 
at trying to write a lexer for Scintilla / Geany for a variation  on the TWiki 
markup language).

So, from an ignorant point of view, because Scintillua is a variant of 
Scintilla, I would think (or hope ;-) that it should be fairly easy to use 
Scintillua in place of Scintilla in Geany.

Has anyone dug into this at all?

I ask because it looks like it would be a whole lot easier to write my lexer 
in Scintillua than in C/C++ (and don't even think about me trying to integrate 
Scintillua into Geany unless it would be some very simple matter of changing 
sort of a dependency or something (like saying "include Scintillua" instead of 
saying "include Scintilla" if that is how Scintilla gets "attached" to 
Geany)).
