Lua language spec (2.73 KB, text/plain)

Description Thorbjørn Lindeijer 2004-01-14 20:37:46 UTC 
I've written a lua.lang for enableing Lua syntax highlighting (attached).
The only problem with it that I can see is the rules of how lines can be
continued, as they are based on the python.lang file and I don't know how
Lua handles those cases.

It only highlights languages keywords, comments and basic functions. Not
the many functions available from the main modules (I could add that if
desired).

Lua language spec
Comment 2 Thorbjørn Lindeijer 2004-01-14 20:58:46 UTC 
A thing to note is the mimetype that I've chosen, text/x-lua. It is
not present in gnome-mime-data yet and I've based it on text/x-python
but I'm not sure if there is already another mimetype for Lua files.

For now, I'm creating a bug for gnome-mime-data with a patch to add
text/x-lua. To gnome-vfs.mime.
Comment 3 Gustavo Giráldez 2004-01-15 03:42:51 UTC 
I've set this bug to depend on the gnome-mime-data one.  I'll review
it again when the other patch is committed.  Thanks.

I've added the spec file to GtkSourceView HEAD.  Thanks a lot.
