Syntax Highlighting Scripts Within

Syntax highlighting

Many of the Title Formatting scripts are fairly complicated and difficult to read.  To help, I've put together Synatax Highlighting scripts for UltraEdit32 and TextPad that you can use to color code the syntax, and match parens and brackets to make developing a little easier.  You can do the same thing for Multiedit and Edipad, but neither lend themselves to this format.  However, you can use these as a basis for both.

I hunted through ALL the messages in the Title Format thread to find as many of the user-defined tags as I could and also used the excellent doc put together by Bamral, which you can get at http://home.attbi.com/~billamral/TAGZ.TXT, so I think everything should be here.  If not, please post your corrections.  I'm sure I missed some things and also might have included some obsolete tags.

Both UltraEdit and TextPad have help files that explain how to implement thes (It's pretty straightforward).  In both, you will also have to define the colors you want to use with each category after you incorporate the tags, but theres not much more to it and it makes life much easier.


Have Fun!


UltraEdit32 - This will be added to Wordfile.txt in UltraEdit directory

For TextPad - You'll need to create a document class and associate it with the syntax file called foobar.syn
The script below is what will be in foobar.syn

Nice idea, I'm sure that would help a if I used UltraEdit or TextPad  but lots of people will find syntax highlighting very usefull.

Here is an editing mode for jEdit.

Installation:
Put tagz.xml in either %UserProfile%\.jedit\modes or %ProgramFiles%\jEdit\modes
Add the following to catalog, which is in the same directory:
<MODE NAME="tagz"   FILE="tagz.xml"
            FILE_NAME_GLOB="*.{t*gz,fb2k}" />

And that's it.
Now you just have to give your Tagz files one of these extensions: tgz, tagz or fb2k.

Get it as a zip file here. That way you will get the correct indentation.

I've also made one up for Notepoad++, which is quite a bit simpler than jEdit and more free than the other ones mentioned in this thread.

Add this to your %Application Data%/Notepad++/userDefineLang.xml file.  I am sure it could use some tweaking, but it's a VERY simple and free way to start making your foobar2000 scripts a bit easier to read.

Edited to add: Notepad++ has a nice graphical way of editing these .xml styles, so you can tweak it without needing to learn how to actually edit the text in the above code.  Recommended for people who are not serious programmers who want to tweak simple scripts .

I have created an STX (syntax) file for EditPlus.

It can be found here: foobar.stx

In EditPlus you can also create autocomplete and cliptext files as well.  If anyone is interested I could post those also.

I also have cue.acp (autocomplete), cue.ctl (cliptext) and cue.stx (syntax) files for cuesheet editing.

Well, here is my own UltraEdit wordlist entry for TAGZ:

Code: [Select]
/L12"foobar2000's TAGZ" Nocase Line Comment = // String Chars = '%
/Delimiters = ~!@$%^&*()+=|\/{}[]:;"'<>  ,.?/
/Open Brace Strings =  "{" "(" "["
/Close Brace Strings = "}" ")" "]"

/C1"Functions"
abbr ansi
blend
caps caps2 channels char codec crlf cut
directory
ext
filename fix_eol
get
hex
info insert
left len len2 longest lower
max meta meta_num meta_sep meta_test
num
pad pad_right padcut padcut_right progress progress2 put puts
repeat replace rgb rgb right roman
select shortest strchr strrchr strstr substr
tab transition trim
upper

/C2"If Functions"
if if2 if3 ifgreater iflonger

/C3"Logical Functions"
and
greater
longer
not
or
strcmp stricmp
xor

/C4"Mathematical Functions"
add
div
min mod mul muldiv
rand
sub


You will notice that it's more colorful with the functions, since it knows 4 different types, but treats all variables enclosed by % as strings -> which is a gray text color by default.

I find Open/CloseBraceStrings especially useful with TAGZ, because scripts can get messed up very quickly.

String coloring isn't perfect. I used it both for variables and for text enclosed by the ' character, but other text that would normally be written out by fb2k remains black, instead of gray.

The one posted here works pretty well. You could always add some missing elements.

Odd. I got version 3.5 installed right now, and I've used it to build my 0.9 strings.

I had some trouble with the np++ stuff too, so I made a new one:

I have syntax highlighting for tagz for Vim, and I can probably produce one for Vile, if anyone is interested.

I've always been wanting to write a vim file for Tagz, but never got to learning vimfile syntax. Could you please upload it somewhere? Thank you, in advance.


I am also interested in the Vim syntax highlighting.  Please share

Ditto 

I tried both notepad++ user defined language xml and one has a little bit better code word differentiation.  Thanx to both contributors.

I'd really like to try out one for vim.

I improved KalleGold syntax highlighting script for notepad++ by just adding more TAGZ function, words and metadata tags.

I have Notepad++ v 3.6 and this file is NOT in my directory by default. I created a UserDefineLang.xml file and put that code in it . . . and nothing happens. Getting notepad++ to work with the TAGZ language has been very frustrating because every post in this thread assumes the existence of a file that, in newer installations, doesn't.

Can anyone provide some assistance on what I should do here?

If you have created the UserDefineLang.xml and pasted the code in there then all you need to do is save the file you are working on as either an .fcs or .TAGZ

It won't work if the file isn't saved as one of those 2.
