Well themes set styles using names for the lexical entity, my (not fleshed out) thought at the time of the comment was that the same mechanism could be used to translate names to style numbers? > More generally it would be good if we could auto-generate C code based on > scintilla styles so adding a lexer is semi-automated. Agree totally, IIRC @codebrainz once looked at scripting Lexer upgrades further, but (again IIRC) when he asked for changes to Scintilla Neil refused (backward compatibility) so the idea was dropped. I think some other Scintilla users have such tooling, thats why Neil didn't want to change stuff, maybe we could ~steal~ reuse it. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3368#issuecomment-1427165927 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

@ntrel Good point, the best solution would be if the list of comment styles came from the filetype file so custom styles could alter it, but "somebodys" gotta do it[^1] and since @techee says its only used for comment continuation maybe its not worth it.

I just mentioned Julia because its where I noticed it, really the issue is a prompt to check all languages that are not mentioned in the switch (only 8 of Geanys 30+, perhaps others should be listed in a comment after the `default:` so its clear their omission is deliberate) Specifically for Julia, AFAICT multi-line comments are only used for commenting out blocks of code, it uses doc strings like python, so multi-line comments are not used for documentation purposes, so probably ok to omit. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3368#issuecomment-1426510593 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

Now after looking at #3386 where the `in_block_comment()` is used, it's sole purpose is to tell whether to add the initial `*` in multi-line block comment. This now works only for `*` and `+` for D but no other character. Block comments in Julia are introduced by `#=` so we'd have to do the equivalent for the `=` character too and I'm not really sure if Julia users write comments this way: ```Julia #= line1 = line2 = line3 =# ``` or rather just ```Julia #= line1 line2 line3 =# ``` and whether it's something they want. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3368#issuecomment-1426302903 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

I think so. Also, the list of languages seems way too short and I suspect many more are missing. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3368#issuecomment-1387648895 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread. Message ID:
