Re: [jdt-ui-dev] pointers to get started on a formula renderer for the Java editor
|
Hi Stephan, thanks for the tips. I do not want to create a latex
expression editor, many nice ones already exist and that's too much work
:) I just want to implement something like how many popular wikis render
any expression inside $\alpha_beta$ or some tag <tex></tex> etc, it
would just render it "inline" and not require selecting any text or
looking at another view. I'm new to eclipse plugin development, how does
one use org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.infoviews.JavadocView ? does it
make the html view appear in another window? If so, that's not what the
intended design would be
Cheers,
Stephen

Hi Stephen,
From your descriptions it's not quite clear, how your LaTeX
expression renderer is supposed to be integrated with Eclipse.
As you call it a renderer and not a WYSIWYG editor, I assume
the Java editor will remain untouched.
Creating a separate view should be easiest implementation-wise,
where the only communication with the editor would be to get the
text at the current selection. Perhaps, creating a variant/copy of
org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.infoviews.JavadocView would be a good
starting point, if you want to re-use some of the normal rendering
for javadoc comments.
That said, I believe the JDT forum[1] would be a better place to
discuss this, since the mailing list jdt-ui-dev is intended for
discussions regarding the development of JDT/UI itself.
best,
Stephan

Hi all, I'm an experienced developer but am a newcomer to the Eclipse
codebase.. my goal is to build a LaTex expression renderer so
that mathematical expressions can be rendered as mathematical
formulas in the Java comments, etc. there is a java tex library
already https://github.com/opencollab/jlatexmath which I've used and
is quote cool.. I just need to know the fastest way to get up
to speed on how to implement this idea.. any tips/suggestions etc
are appreciated.
