NAnt Wordfile - XML Syntax

[THEMike]

Hi,

I'm trying to set up a word file for the NAnt build file xml format.

I want to have it behave as XML in ultraedit, but, to also be different to XML in it's highlighting and keywords etc.

Now, IIRC, the recent changes to syntax highlighting in Ultraedit prevent you having more than one XML_LANG or HTML_LANG, so I can't do this?

I'm afraid I haven't (Yet) had time to do any experimenting with this, can anyone offer any advice as to a generic approach, or provide a full latest nant build file that recognises all the nant tasks?

First more than 1 XML_LANG should be possible with a File Names = definition.

But better is to use a project/workspace where you can add your XML files which need a different XML highlighting definition and use a project specific wordfile - a second wordfile which contains a different XML highlighting definition. Whenever you load this project/workspace, the XML files are highlighted with this alternate wordfile. When you close the project/workspace the main wordfile becomes active again.

Ok here is a clip of word file:

Code: Select all

/L12"NAnt" XML_LANG Noquote Block Comment On = <!-- Block Comment Off = --> File Extensions = build
/Delimiters = ~@$%^&*()+=|\{};"'<> ,
/Function String = "name=*">"
/Open Brace Strings =  "{" "(" "[" "<"
/Close Brace Strings = "}" ")" "]" ">"
/C1"Elements" STYLE_ELEMENT
<code </code


However, the element <code> does not highlight (but <code name="fish">blah</code> does highlight the first code but not the closing code...

Suggestions?

[Mofi]

Look at the default wordfile.txt at language HTML (for example LI). There you will see that you have to specify all possible variants of an element which are according to your example:

<code> <code </code>

[THEMike]

hmm that is somewhat unfortunate.

Thanks for the help, I now have a NAnt buildfile that builds an ultraedit wordfile for NAnt buildfiles based on your specific NAnt configuration.

Recursively lovely.

That should be interesting.

If it's not too long, can you post it here or provide a link/

TIA,

Sorry, meant to post this some time back, I've tried to attach but I get:

So here is the code itself (128 lines, not too big)
