Christian Lenz commented on NETBEANS-7:
---------------------------------------
I can say, that gitlab or github or other online tools like pastebin, to show
snippets, have syntax highlighting features for more languages than NB. Sure
this is only syntax highlighting, but this is fully enough. And there were such
plans for NB decades ago but unfortunately, the token files are missing. So to
use VS Code files or notepad++ or ultraedit, would be a better solution than a
new/old format only working for NB. IMHO.

> We could provide basic editor features (syntax highlighting, braces matching,
> completion, etc) for more languages based on the existing corpus of
> definitions from other editors/IDEs. See

> * http://www.ultraedit.com/downloads/extras/wordfiles.html#wordfiles
> The basic editor features would usually get replaced once more proper plugins
> are installed for a given language.
> We could even introduce a mechanism to promote to users the full plugins
> (from the Plugin Portal, etc) once they start editing given file types.
