I put together a TextMate bundle that highlights protocol buffer syntax and avoids highlighting invalid syntax. The source is here:
http://github.com/michaeledgar/protobuf-tmbundle It uses TextMate's nested highlighting rules to emulate the actual parsing of the proto descriptor language. For example, field definitions highlight inside of extend or message definitions, but not in an enum definition or at the top level. I'm sure there are instances where things highlight in invalid places, but it's pretty cool that it does as well as it does. It also has a few snippets for quickly expanding declarations as well, and shift-enter shortcuts that take advantage of what type of definition you're editing (shift-enter at top-level makes a new Message, shift-enter in a message creates a new field, shift-enter in a service creates a method, shift-enter in an enum makes a constant and formats the constant's name). There's a section for editors in the open-source trunk, but since TextMate bundles aren't just one file, they're a bit more annoying to install. If someone could advise as to the best way to submit the bundle, I'd be glad to prepare it and submit the patch. Barring that, could a link to this be provided on the Third Party Addons link? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Protocol Buffers" group.
