KVIrc script lexing in scintilla - any interest?

[Omega Weapon]

I have extended the geany IDE[0] to support KVIrc script[1] (for the KVIrc[2] IRC client - IRC scripters on Windows would be more familiar with mIRC script) - as part of this I have knocked up a lexer for scintilla.

I understand that I need to port this to SciTE to get it upstreamed, but before I start, can I confirm that there would be an interest for such a lexer in scintilla?

Thanks

Answering what should be a question on the Geany list not the Scintilla
list.

I don't see any new lexers in the github at [1]. You will need to show the
changes rather than just uploading a blob.

In general yes Geany would prefer that a new lexer is included in Scintilla
(not Scite) so we can use Scintilla with minimal modifications.

I think that's why he/she is asking here. It's not often someone reads
our mailing list archives and does the right thing without being told :)

Lexers are accepted into Scintilla without needing to include support for SciTE.

Create an issue on the tracker and attach a patch.

Thanks for all your responses - I posted here rather than the geany list
since I read the warning under
http://www.geany.org/manual/hacking.html#syntax-highlighting as requiring
the lexer to be in the scintilla project before I can think about getting
it and the parser and folder into geany for real.

OK, great news on not needing to do it in SciTE first, although I'm happy
to do the work if it helps. I will make that feature request.
