Subject: [NTG-= context] ConTeXt Book: Request for help!

Dear gang,

As so= me of you may know, I'm working on a professional introductory book <= br/>for learning ConTeXt. Part of the philosophy of this book is to be as =
self-contained as possible, so we'll be using a preferred editor.=

Not one editor/ide out there is ideal for ConTeXt (including bidi= editing
and other user-friendly configurability). The best balance I= could find is
Notepad++ (Npp), and that's what I'm going w= ith. I have done a lot of work
to contextify it, and I have added som= e new features, such as a
context-menu where one can right-click and = get a list of ConTeXt
typography and description options, experimenta= l support for tooltips
(giving options for commands etc), no more man= ual braces (so far less run
errors) etc.

To take this to the= next level I need help: Is there anyone on the list
who knows how to= write and compile lexers for scintilla-based editors?
Also, how to c= ompile C++ for M$-Windows based applications such as Npp?

Npp has = a rich user-defined dialog, and I have been able to do a lot with
it,= but it has some serious limitations. So I'd like to port my
use= r-definitions to a lexer. We can probably start with the code for the
included TeX lexer, de-latexify it, and add the needed functions for
ConTeXt, including a few other features.

If anyone is interested,= please contact me!

Best wishes
Idris
