Is there any chance you built a BNF grammar for MEL as part of writing the MEL->Python translator? If not, is there anyone who might be interested in trying to mangle, say, a javascript grammar into a MEL grammar?
A BNF grammar would allow full intellisense for MEL in Visual Studio (not just keyword highlighting but full on the fly syntax support, including squiqqly red lines if you left off a semi colon or a closing back-tick, auto-completion, function parameter popups, etc. (yeah, I know everyone here loves python but lets face it there's still going to be a lot of MEL to look at and maintain for a long time to come) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ http://groups.google.com/group/python_inside_maya -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
