Hi Jeremy,
That sounds more like a semantic highlighter to me. Have a look at
SemanticHighlighter::incrementalApplyExtraAdditionalFormats in
src\plugins\texteditor\semantichighlighter.cpp and the usages in the
QML/JS and C++ semantic highlighter.

Hello,
I'm working on making a plugin to support a specific language: Anubis.
I've started the highlighting part and I saw that QtCreator is making
syntax highlighting line by line instead of making it "globally" for
the whole file.
I just wanna know, how can I use the Bison/Flex files, used to check
syntax for Anubis language, to make syntax highlighting in QtCreator.
Knowing that most of the tokens declared in the Flex file can be
multiline, making a lexer, working line by line, able to detect those
tokens is hard and the code is too "verbose".
I've tried to adapt what I've found in Bison/Flex files to make a
syntax highlighter, but it's really painful and it makes further
updates harder.
If I was able to apply highlighting on the whole file (not line by
line), it were simpler and I could use it to make some other
functionalities at the same time: code completion, code analysis,
symbol detection, ...
Do you have an idea on how I can make syntax highlighting without
rewriting a full lexer ?
Thanks in advance.
Jeremy
