[OT] highlighter for ConTEXT

[OT] highlighter for ConTEXT

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2394 bytes --]

Hi,

The ConTEXT lacked a highlighter for Ada 95, (you couldn't get one at the
site) so I've created one (it's not rocket science).  Before it is submitted
I'd like to know if anyone who uses (or might use) ConTEXT has any
suggestions.  I've checked as much as possible that all the reserved words
are in there but maybe there are some I forgot to include.  If there is let
me know.

It is attached and also follows this post.  I thought about highlighting
standard types, but that maybe more trouble than it's worth.  Any thoughts?


Regards,
Chris

I assume (after some searching) that it is this program you are talking about?

http://www.fixedsys.com/context/

I use Vim 6.0 and there you can turn on highlighting of the standard
types, but I don't use it and it is not on by default. You must decide
yourself if you want to add it. More info here: http://www.dwheeler.com/vim/

But please upload the highlighting to the ConTEXT site so that you get
Ada on the list of supported languages. Especially as there is about to
come a version 1.0 of the editor. Also ConTEXT look like a nice editor
for Windows environment where I can now (after having to program in
windows) can understand why people ask for IDEs.

It would be nice to make a small page where one can collect useful
programs for developing Ada on different platforms. I mean so that
people can choose which they are most confortable with.

Prehaps templates would also be nice? That is sth I would like to add to
Vim when I can find some time to figure out how to do it :-).

Yes, sorry about that.

I tried syntax highlighting of standard types today, but it wasn't very
nice.  Too many colours.

I'll send it and see what happens.

Soon 0.97.0 is being released (days).  I don't know the author's planned
release date for 1.00, but hopefully it'll be soon.

It is nice, and you can attach commands to keys which is also nice (for
compilation).  Admittedly I haven't done this yet (I'm not used to using
GNAT from command line), but it looks easy enough.

On Adapower?  Everything else is there, why not this?

In most editors I found the templates to be clumsy, but ConTEXT is ok.
Anyway, I've got templates for procedures, functions, packages (both spec
and body), and I'm going to write one for tasks, and protected objects.

The complete list of reserved words in Ada is given in ARM 2.9.

While .ads and .adb are the default extensions for GNAT, other compilers
may have other conventions; I have seen .ada and .a and heard of .spc
and .bdy. Projects may have their own naming conventions, and most
compilers (including GNAT) can handle non-default conventions. I doubt
if you can include every possible convention, but I would suggest at
least including .ada.
