Hi All, I have implemented a #lang language called bracket. The language is installed as a collection with the raco link command.
soegaard$ /Applications/Racket\ Full\ v5.3.0.11/bin/raco link -l User links: collection: "bracket" path: "/Users/soegaard/Dropbox/GitHub/bracket/bracket" Installation links: soegaard$ To get proper source coloring in DrRacket, I have implemented a color-lexer. From the documentation I see that to tell DrRacket about the color-lexer, one must in the reader associated with the language make a get-info function. This I have done as follows (the definitions of bracket-read and bracket-read-syntax are left out). However it seems that DrRacket never calls the get-info function in question. To check this, I added a displayln call to print a message each get-info is called, and I never see any output from this. Is there something else that needs to be done in order to get the color-lexer to DrRacket? Although I have read the manual several times, I might have missed something obvious. The reader, parser and other related files are available here: https://github.com/soegaard/bracket/tree/master/bracket/lang A working test file with a program written in Bracket is here: https://github.com/soegaard/bracket/blob/master/bracket/tests/testing.rkt Excerpt from bracket/lang/reader.rkt : #lang racket (provide (rename-out [bracket-read read] [bracket-read-syntax read-syntax]) get-info) (require "parser.rkt") (define (get-info in mod line col pos) (displayln (list 'reader/get-info in mod line col pos)) (lambda (key default) (displayln (list 'reader/get-info key default)) (case key [(color-lexer) (dynamic-require 'bracket/lang/parser 'color-lexer)] [else default]))) -- Jens Axel Søgaard ____________________ Racket Users list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/users
