[vtk-developers] Syntax Highlighting

[Andrew Maclean]

Hi All

I have a TCL script that does the following:

# Parse a list of VTK classes, variables and functions
# extracted from the Doxygen documentation.
# Just copy the Class Members page starting at -_-
# and ending at the last class member to a file called
# VTK.txt
# Then run this program and the following files will be produced:
# VTKClasses.Txt - a list of the vtk classes.
# VTKFunctions.txt - a list of methods in the classes.
# VTKVariables.txt - a list of variables in the classes.
# VTKClassesFnVar.txt - a list of classes with their methods and
# variables.


I use it to produce a highlighter for Context by extending the TCL/TK
highlighter. 

It has occurred to me that this could be used to produce highlighters for
Emacs and the KDE editors in Linux for C++ and TCL/Tk. Does anyone already
do this or does anyone want to have a go at doing this? I am a casual user
of Emacs and, with respect to the KDE stuff, not very experienced.

If there is any interest I'll zip and post the file to this group (it is
quite small).

Andrew
