Hi,

I'm new to the Lazarus/Free Pascal.

I have posted this message on the lazarus forum, do not know if there is the best
place to discuss this topic...

According to the wiki page, the SynEdit contained in Lazarus and used by Lazaru's editor is based on SynEdit 1.03. The current version of the orginal SynEdit is 2.07.

Wiki also says that there is a port of the version 2.05 to Lazarus and also says that there is a attempt to redesign the component.

My questions:

What are the future plans of the Lazaru's dev team for the SynEdit?

Is the team planning to use the port of the version 2.05?

Is the project to redesign the component a fork of the original SynEdit project, breaking the compatibility between both components in the future versions or the redesign will occur in the original project?

Best regards,
Fabr?cio

Well tell us more, what do you aim to do? I already gave you an answer on the forum:
http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,21867.msg128460.html#msg128460

And just in case, if you read the link in my forum detail: I am part of
the "dev team", and the one who currently maintains SynEdit.

If you ask in more detail, I will try to answer....

Thanks for the reply!

My name is Fabr?cio, i am a certified delphi programmer. I'm using Delphi for over the last five years.

I'm Brazilian (thus, sorry if my English speaking is not good =)).

I'm would like to use Lazarus to build my own projects and i would like to contribute to the community too.

I'm new to the Linux platform, but i'm still using Windows in my work.

I have noticed that doesn't exists a powerfull text editor - like Notepad++
- which I could use the same editor on both Windows and Linux.

I still prefer a text editors like Notepad++ - so, Gnu Emacs and Vi doesn't work for me.

In Linux we have KEdit, but it's not avaliable on Windows platform. JEdit is powerfull but it's Java-based, thus launches slowly...GEdit has fewer features than the others.

So, initially, I'm planning to join the existing LazEdit project and help to improve it. This also may be an opportunity for me to contribute to the Lazarus project, learning about the SynEdit and helping to maintain this component that is part of the Lazarus IDE today.

Welcome.

And feel free to ask.

And feel free to ask.

As we are at this issue a slightly off-topic question:

For a rather simple program we use TMemeo as an editor for information that is displayed and stored in an HTML file.

So we extract the appropriate text lines from the file, have the user edit it in a TMemo and finally re-insert it in the HTML file.

We don't need any complex formatting, just text that is organized as multiple paragraphs.

Now a problem is, that Memo.Lines outputs any text line as a single paragraph and thus it its close to impossible to keep the correct paragraph structure during the process (without forcing the user to do special stuff such as using blank lines a paragraph indicators).

Could SynEdit help with this problem ?

Thanks,
-Michael

SynEdit keeps lines a they are (unless of course you press enter).

But it has no word wrap. So long lines are just that: long.

That would be great.

Meaning that when editing, automatic line-wrapping in the window is (can be) performed, but the line-wraps are not seen when retrieving the paragraphs (aka "lines") ?

I would not need word wrapping.

So I'll give it a try.-

Hi Bart,

Yes I am.
Look at the commits, most are mine.

LazEdit is a spin-off of my own custom editor, which in old days started out as a HTML editor. Hence the buil-in shortcuts for HTML-tags.
I still actively maintain the original app (which is in Dutch language) and every enhenacement/fix I make ther I port to LazEdit as well as possible.

According to the project page on sourceforge, the current project's admin isthe Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho,

Felipe converted my editor to LazEdit and built in some primitive language selection.
He then put it on Lazarus-CCR, at the time I had no access there, (All this after somebody asked: "is there any text-editor out there written in Lazarus?")

but i couldn't contact him yet. I have tried via the sourceforge.

Try on this list?

Bart
