Hey Phil,
I'm assuming it means that it returns a tuple(bytesstring_of_block_start_chars,
pointer_to_style), because lexers that implement the blockStart method (like
QsciLexerPython) return (None, some_large_number). But why do they always
return the byte_string as None?
Anyway, I edited the blockStart() and blockEnd() methods of my custom lexer to:
def blockStart(self):
return b'{', 0
def blockStart(self):
return b'}', 0
and set the qscintilla editors setAutoIndent(True) and my custom lexers
setAutoIndentStyle(QsciScintilla.AiOpening | QsciScintilla.AiOpening). Now the
next line after inserting a '{' doesn't indent (like in the QsciLexerCPP, for
example), but it does unindent when inserting a '}'?
Example:
if (test)
{
|<- doesn't indent
Then I manually indent:
if (test)
{
|<- manual indent with the tab key
test line added;
Inserting the '}' character unindents automatically:
if (test)
{
test line added;
} <- automatically unindented from the previous line's indentation level
I really have no idea if I'm doing something wrong or if I'm misunderstanding
something, could you please help?
P.S.:
I'm also helping Kristof, so that is why we are both posting separately on the
same topic.
Matic
