Hi,
thanks a lot for sharing your module. I was using my own CLM for ConTeXt, but
probably I’ll switch to yours now :-)
(I especially love the addition of the "callouts" (TODO, etc.) to the
functions/sections menu!)
Some quick observations/suggestions/thoughts:
## Key/value options [] and content arguments {}
The highlighting is broken when there is a space between the command word and
the [bracketed options] {or arguments}; unfortunately that’s the way I use to
write it ;-)
It breaks also when there are line breaks involved, which is often the case
when you write longer, "vertical" definitions, for example
\setupitemgroup [Legtext] [each]
[stopper=,
before={\setupwhitespace[none]\blank[small]},
style=\bf,
inbetween={\blank[small]},
after={\blank[medium]},
width=1.8em,
…]
## Command words
\,\;\: : In things like "3000\,mm" the whole "\,mm" gets highlighted. [This may
ne a legacy problem, as I should better use directly an appropriate Unicode
space.]
Highlighting should probably not include chars like "()|": For example in
"\starttabulate [|lw(.65\textwidth)|rw(.25\textwidth)|]" the whole
"\textwidth)|rw(.25\textwidth)|" part gets command-highlighted.
## Default highlight colors
After installation the default highlight colors were all set to black, except
for comments. (BBEdit 11.1.2 (3733).)
(Though this might be as well a BBEdit problem, since they are still fighting
highlighting bugs that have been introduced with the color scheme changes of
vs. 11)
## Commands / keywords
It’s interesting that you are offering both Command words (via pattern) and
Keywords (custom list). In ConTeXt I always thought of them as the same. I’ll
surely find a nice use for that :-)
Thanks again,
best,
