Eric Promislow:
I assume the technical details would be of interest here -- just ping me and I'll write something up. The blog entry is geared towards building a lexer.
That would be interesting as I expect other people are interested in extending Scintilla's lexing capabilities. In the post you say that "regular expressions alone are too weak" which was my belief when starting Scintilla so lexers are code which is more tedious but more likely to be capable of being complete. Transitions are important in these composite languages and there's a good chance the current SinkWorld code is too simplistic. The post is a little scarifying to a potential language definer: they'd need to be quite motivated to start work on one. A lexically simple language (possibly Eiffel or BCPL) may make a good introduction.
