Comments are welcomed (and I know there is another similar plugin out there SynEd

This is very cool ! Thank you !

PS.
Is there a way we could help you to integrate more programming languages for future versions ?

Unfortunately the systax highlighters are interational part of the editor component, so it seems to be very hard to enhance it. If someone knows about a new version of the RALIB please tell me.
But: nothing is impossible

thnx, cu

If someone knows about a new version of the RALIB please tell me.

I made a quick search and I found the R&A Library 2.01 (RALIB) at :
http://www.gsc.hu/delphicomp.php?lang=en

Also check for Synedit 1.1 at :

http://synedit.sourceforge.net

I hope this helps.

I loaded an XML file in Lister. I pressed '4' to edit it with this plugin. The plugin showed up with an empty pane. I pressed '1' to redisplay the file in Lister. It showed up just fine. I went back to the plugin (same empty pane) and clicked on the reload button. I got a 'File not found' dialog box.

I cannot reproduce this here. Is the XML file in an archive, I noticed this behavior sometimes with different file types. Did you add xml to the html systax highlighter in the configuration dialog?

I you did all correctly please send me the XML file, maybe there is a problem with the editor itself.

Hi,

Great congratulations for your plugin.

Could you support Ultraedit word files? with that you'll have hundreds of new formats supported.

I cannot see 'Pascal' in the configure list: I would like to add .dfm and .dpr to the default Pascal extensions.

Is it possible to choose the font?

I took a quick look at the R&A Library 2.01 (RALIB) found at :
http://www.gsc.hu/delphicomp.php?lang=en

And according to hpg, it is being used in the development of this plugin.
And it seems that the languages syntax are hardcoded in this library, specifically in the file \ralib\lib\RAHLEditor.pas

Maybe it will be needed to modify this file (or maybe other) in order to accomodate more languages.

Not at this time, I'm evaluating SynEdit1.1 at this time, but the TAB handling (indenting!) is very strange...

I cannot see 'Pascal' in the configure list: I would like to add .dfm and .dpr to the default Pascal extensions.

Pascal is still there, but the configuration dialog has a bug and do not display this file type in the tree ,
next version I will fix it! (I already associated the dfm files to c++builder
To associate the PASCAL file type you may edit the hpg_ed.ini file (located
either in your tcmd's directory or in your window's folder:

locate section EXT:

[EXT]
...
.dfm=1
.dpr=1
...

add these two entries and you're done!

1 = Syntax highlighting id for PASCAL/Delphi, maybe I will find the time to document that

Is it possible to choose the font?

Of course, the font will be cofigurable in the next version and also the colours used for the highlighters.


Ok, I think there is a lot of stuff in the next version. I wrote the plugin from scratch, because I needed it. But there seemed to be some very strange bugs left.
I hope in Version 0.5 all bugs are fixed.

Yes, hpg_ed is very nice, I use it too now - but I'm also missing line numbers for source code.

Hi,

I've started using hpg_ed this week, and noticed a few little bugs:

1. Separating functions by writing "//***************" (dunno why I did that) isn't supported by hpg_ed. All lines following that string are interpreted as comment (which is correct when "/* */" is used for marking comments, but in fact this is a single line comment because of // ).
2. The font configuration dialog disappears in the back of the main configuration dialog.
3. When adding an extension which is already supported by another type (ie adding .inc in the C/C++, which also exists in PASCAL) makes hpg_ed not to respond anymore.

That's all I have for now, this is a great plugin!
