Language Configuration in WebEdit.NET
Saturday, July 9, 2005
Finally, users can configure language-support in WebEdit.NET's settings dialog instead of having to resort to the configuration files. Here are some example of what can be done:
- Adding a new language for a given file extension.
- Adding and editing aliases (code snippets), associating files with alias definitions or token lists, all for use in AutoText.
- Adding and editing build commands.
- Changing and configuring helper objects such as AutoConverters, CodeAssistants, CodeDomProviders, SyntaxParsers, and SyntaxProviders.
- For SyntaxParsers especially: editing so-called RangeKindMappings, which map words/tokens to RangeKinds used in syntax coloring.
Everything can be found in the "Editing/Languages" and "Editing/Templates" setting groups.
