Interactive syntax highlighter for AU3

This is not a code example but rather a tool that some nice guy created, to have Interactive Code Highlighting on the web.

Called Codepress

Features :

• Real-time syntax highlighting » just write some code
• Code snippets » on AU3 example type “If” and press [tab]
• Auto completion » simple type : msgbox
• Shortcuts » on AU3 example press : cw
• Multiple windows » you can add multiple CodePress windows to the page

Again like in many of my examples, I look for lightweight applications that fit well with AU3.
Benifit of this approach is that it is based on Java. Making it platform and Browser independend, opposed to other solutions around.

And this one is a nice one again, but still under construction.
I installed the highlighter on my machine on the LightTD webserver. Needs only 3 lines of code !!



I will let you all know more if, I have got some news on this topic.

As you can see more and more people are developing tools for AU3. It seems that it start to deserve it's place beside of the other big scripting names.

All credits for the AU3 language file goes to JamesB
He also has setup a test site : CodePress for AU3

Latest Syntax file :

 autoit.zip   5.34K   437 downloads

This far is how I am writing my own syntax Highlighter in AU3, using the Codepress concept.
It's not perfect yet, but close.

Added AutoIt syntax highlighting. Thanks to James Brooks

Indead that's you nice job.

I add the button to run the Example code in the DEMO section.

Can you explain me how the syntax file is structured. So I can add the things too.
That saves me the time figuring it out.

Do you have it run on a server already.

Actually, I found it quite hard to work it out at first so I studied the simple structures. I can't really explain how to use it because it varies as of such.

I just realised that the <> don't work so I will add them and any missing commands.

When an update is released. Can you drop a message in here so we know.

Maybe it's good to attach your beta version files here so we can test.

thanks

Was there supposed to be one?

Will do, I am at college now using their system to test it on, so I will post it when I get home.

[James]

I will also add some snippets. Basically when you type something such as msgbox it will fix it and rewrite it as MsgBox(CARET STARTS HERE, "", ""). Any others you want?

Just noticed, conditional statements, while, if etc aren't done. I will add them.

0x0000FF

Edit: For the Dark Blue;
I get 0x000090
using my color picker.

Ahh thanks George. I wasn't sure if it would be the default blue.

Check my edit

[James]

000090 is the dark blue.

[GEOSoft]

000090 is the dark blue.

Want a copy of my color picker?

[James]

I can't run it here

Honestly, 000099 is dark blue.

Make up your mind. In your previous post you agree with me that it's 000090 and now you claim it's 000099.
I still get 000090.

[James]

But I needed light blue, which is 000FF. Dark blue is 000099.

I gave you the standard blue to begin with, 0000FF, then added the Dark Blue because ptrex mentioned it as well.
That's enough for today. I'm outta here.
