Edit Modes

Hello,

Here's a much improved Tcl language edit mode, based on the one in the latest source.

Changes:

• Fixed comments detection: Only # at the beginning of Tcl commands are comments!
• Quoted strings can span multiple lines.
• Added recursive in-string substituted command and variable analysis.
• Added numerous missing tcl keywords and variables up to version 8.4.14.
• Removed $ on global variable keywords, as they're often used with $::.
• Added Expect keywords, as KEYWORD2. ("send" was already in tk as KEYWORD2)
• Avoid colouring substituted variables that are homonyms of a keyword.
• Highlight hexadecimal numbers too.

Known limitations:

• Unbalanced quotes or brackets within braces, such as in regular expressions, will confuse the analysis. Add behind the confusing instruction a ;# comment with closing quotes and brackets, to trick it into thinking it's balanced again.

Known bugs (Were there before, and I failed to fix them):

• \c escape colouring does not work for escapes embedded in words. I attemted numerous workarounds using spans and regexps, but they all seem to fail to detect anything beginning with a \. And using NO_ESCAPE="TRUE" does not help.
• {} within quoted strings should not affect indentation.

Any hint at how to fix the last two known bugs is welcome!

VB.NET mode by Mark Hubbard, based on VBScript mode by Andre Kaplan Also try these regular expressions for folding with the Configurable Fold Handler plug-in: fold start string: ^[^']*([cC]lass\s|[sS]ub\s|[fF]unction\s|[pP]roperty\s) fold end string: [eE]nd\s+([cC]lass|[sS]ub|[fF]unction|[pP]roperty)

In VHDL, a single apostrophe ' is used in the following case: <signal name>'event where <signal name> can be any predifined signal (its like a variable). The bug is of course that the VHD highlighter thinks this is a single quote opeing a string, thus highlighting the rest of the line.

An easy rule would be to just check for the word "event" after a single quote. Here is the required update for vhd.xml - the following should replace the single quote span:
<SPAN_REGEXP HASH_CHAR="'" NO_LINE_BREAK="TRUE" TYPE="LITERAL1">
<BEGIN>(?!'event)</BEGIN>
<END>'</END>
</SPAN_REGEXP>

This is my first attempt of an edit mode for YAML (YAML ain't markup language). More information on YAML can be found at http://www.yaml.org.

An update to the 1.0 file from Carsten Eckelmann. It adds indent for yaml blocks (> |) and highlighting of quotes (" and ') and strings (!).
