Hi all, according to the wiki, and the current code, the arguments to \installprettytype should be uppercased. E.g.:
\installprettytype [PHP] [PHP]
Referring to them should be uppercased as well:
\definetyping[PHP] [option=PHP]
\setuptyping[option=PHP]
However, the filename should be lowercase, e.g. pret-php.lua and the pretty
printer should register itself in lowercase as well:
buffers.newvisualizer("lua"). The first thing that happens to the arguments of
installprettytype is to lowercase them, and every option= argument that points
to a pretty printer is lowercased by setvisualizer in lua before being used.
If everything is lowercased, why do we still recommend the arguments to
\installprettytype and option= to be uppercase? IMHO this makes things
confusing when trying to understand which PHP refers to which php or PHP in
the greater picture of things.
Why not recommend people to use lowercase identifiers instead, since we're
changing everything into lowercase anyway? Or perhaps go a bit further and
remove the lowercasing code alltogether, since I don't see any real gain. If
the strings / filenames should just match exactly, things will get a lot more
predictable?
