edtior context highlighting

prof_braino

I'm switching to ubuntu, and I would like an editor to properly context highlight the code for the prop.

I found this thread from a year ago, adding spin highlighting to GEDIT

Peter mentions medit

I'm trying for SPIN, PASM, and PropForth. [gedit already supports generic FORTH from an old standard, but most of that is not applicable to the prop]

Has anybody address the issues SRLM has listed, particularly the Spin/PASM highlighting?

Anybody using something else that works better?

Is there a straight forward reference on adding a language on adding a new language context? The stuff I found looked involved and obtuse.

Thanks!

For gedit look here:
http://projects.gnome.org/gtksourceview/documentation.html
http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/NewLanguage

For other editors you need to use google to find the description and you might even need to write some code (especially if you want to avoid teh SPIN/PASM as that relies on program structure)

This already added additional code for SPIN/PASM syntax highlighting
