Does anyone know of a good overview of techniques used for keyword identification and other structural information identification when doing syntax highlighting?
I know many editors do it but I am not aware of any good description of the algorithms used. Recognizing %def operations inside chunks has some similarities, but I'm hoping there are very fast ways this can be done. It finally hit me that escape character identification can and should be done during the initial chunk scan, where every char needs to be examined anyway, and stored as part of the chunk structure information. Definitions are somewhat more involved, both in recognizing when they are initially defined and when they are called, and I'm curious as to what the best techniques are.
