Hello List,

Following old emails of mine, I've started first doing some very simple syntax, and decided to create a BasicConfig syntax highlight<http://github.com/ik5/SynEdit-syntaxes/blob/master/synhighlighterbasicconfig.pas>(the link is to my code).
I implemented everything I'm thinking that I understand in implementing the highlight (it will be good to know that it's not the case). So now I need to understand better what to do next, and what does it mean each of the method that required to be implemented ?

Thanks,

Ido

You can use the refactoring tool "Show abstract methods" to add the missing methods.

Mattias

That's a cool feature I have not seen before.
However I the abstract methods that are not imported to the project yet, are not there (except one apparently that I missed, and it's now implemented) because I do not understand what is their task.

I've added {%TODO: } to such methods.

I am writing this while away, and without full access to my usual work, so it will not be too detailed.

There are 2 places in synedit.pp you can look at to see, what is called.

TSynEdit.ScanRanges
TSynEdit.PaintLines (may be nested procedure)

They show you all the methods that get called on the highlighter/ On top of this SynExport, or HtmlExport or similar (and some pascal stuff in the IDE SourceEditorProcs) call SetLine/SetRange directly (so for now that may need to be supported too)

in the SynEdit folder docs dir is some xml/fpdoc stuff on CurrentLines/CurrentRanges ....

---
Highlighter.ScanRanges must ensure all lines are scanned (a proper range recored is stored for each line)

In PaintLines the individual tokens are requested by SynEdit. something similar to:
- StartAtLine
- GetToken(EX)
- GetAttribute

The tokens returned per line (GetEOL) must match the length of the actual line, otherwhise it will crash

Hi Ido, as i noticed, you implementing some of highlighters for not duplicating work, i already have

SynHighlighterSQLite.pas

http://sourceforge.net/projects/minilib/
in Lazarus\projects\miniSQLViewer\lib

And in my home, not published yet but ported from my old Delphi project http://sourceforge.net/projects/lightphpedit

SynHighlighterHTMLPHP.pas
SynHighlighterApache.pas

I will publish it as soon as possible.

Thanks

Thanks, that helped me a lot.

Hi Zaher,

2010/6/12 Zaher Dirkey

I'm not sure that I understand what you mean.

I'm working on two syntax highlight at the moment:

1. Ruby
2. Basic configuration file (just to understand how to create syntax highlighter)

I do not understand how are they duplicates of what you have done so far ?

Looks like cool tools what you have made, and I'm waiting for the highlighters you've made :)
