Subject: ConTeXt Book: Request for help!
Date: Sun, 14 Aug 2011 14:23:06 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <op.vz7z8sdvpw6hmh@ishamid-pc> (raw)
Dear gang,
As some of you may know, I'm working on a professional introductory book
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 with. I have done a lot of work
to contextify it, and I have added some new features, such as a
context-menu where one can right-click and get a list of ConTeXt
typography and description options, experimental support for tooltips
(giving options for commands etc), no more manual 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 compile 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
user-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
