Squirrel

Will someone please fix the really 5hit highlighting and no collapsing in eclipse it has been driving me insane.

Or write something for notepad++ so i can have squirrel files displayed properly

Crappy development experience is making me hate this new language and people liking it. is more important for its growth than anything.

In nodepad++ you can use Java or JavaScript highlighting for Squirrel

What does highlighting have to do with the language itself?

You do know that different people write the editors, right?

You really should learn how to highlight languages yourself.

This is my userDefineLang.xml in notepad++ 5.2: "'0"'0 { } - ! " % & ( ) , . : ; ? @ [ ] ^ | ~ + < = > 1/* 2*/ 0// break const extends null try vargc case default for resume typeof vargv catch delegate function return while instanceof class delete if switch parent true clone else in this yield false continue enum local throw constructor static foreach

can't paste xml here it gets screwed up. Please specify where to send/upload my xml highlighting file here.

Another try (put this into userDefineLang.xml in your "C:\Documents and Settings\USER_NAME\Application Data\Notepad++\"):

&lt;NotepadPlus&gt;
&lt;UserLang name=&quot;squirrel&quot; ext=&quot;nut&quot;&gt;

Sorry to bump this old thread, but I've uploaded my version of the squirrel language defs here:

I use SciTE, so I finally wrote a .properties file for squirrel highlighting. It could probably be nicer, but it handles all the documented keywords readily enough and otherwise falls back on the cpp lexer. Here is a link to the file: sqc.properties

Related to SQDev, is there ANY way to change the syntax highlighting colours? I've been trying to change the colouring for squirrel keywords, string colours etc. but havent found the right option from eclipse preferences yet. Is changing these settings even possible or am i just failing to see an obvious switch somewhere?
