Re: Syntax Hilite

1.0 Project Builder will not support a public Plug-in API.

When we add a plug-in API, one of the things that will be enabled is third party editor plug-ins. Editors do not have to be based on NSTextView, but they can be as our text, source, and rtf editors are (remember that PB is a Cocoa app, so the Carbon TextEdit stuff is not relevant at all).

If you are implementing a whole new editor, then things like syntax coloring will be up to you.

However, as I said before, we do also want to make our text/source editor itself more expandable to support the ability to do things like extend the existing syntax coloring support to other languages.

Is there, however, or will there be, a way to suggest a given TextEdit component subclass for a given type ?? Like the html and rtf components ? That would be really an interesting part (and could stand for what he's requesting ?).

XML in particular would be my goal.

Not currently. Syntax coloring is fairly specific right now. It was a

Is there a way to create some syntax rules in PB to enable the hiliting
of
languages different from C,C++ and objC : like Perl for instance ?
