Re: [orion-dev] Syntax highlighting from CodeMirror in Orion

[Ken Walker <Ken_Walker@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Mark setup a sample at Orion Hub

http://orion-codemirror.orionhub.org/navigate/table.html#/file/Ms/?depth=1

Or you could search around for some files to put into your own workspace. Live demo of not having any syntax colouring for C files, then installing the plugin, then the client has highlighting works well.

Mark, et al,
 
I'm doing a demo tomorrow at the democamp in San Francisco, and I was wondering if anyone could point me to a place where I could grab some code files with the various languages to demo the code highlighting?
 
If no one has any other suggestions, I will dig up some PHP and HTML from the eclipse.org website.
 
Thanks.

I've done some initial work to support CodeMirror modes for highlighting, and to see how plugin-contributed styling might work.
Here's how you can try it out:

1. Make sure you're running the Orion client code from today (11/17) or later.
2. Install this plugin:
http://mamacdon.github.com/orion-codemirror/codeMirrorPlugin.html
3. At this point you should have syntax coloring for a bunch of common file types: C/C++, HTML, JSON, Ruby, Perl, PHP, and XML.
• You can choose to install a larger set -- visit the plugin URL in your browser for instructions. There's about 30 in total.
4.

Tell me if you find places where the colors are missing or wrong, particularly after you make changes in the editor. I'm still trying to track down some bugs here.

Other Issues:

• You'll see latency between typing and color updates, especially when the editor is first opened.
• The CodeMirror highlighting doesn't supersede our (currently still hard-coded) treatment of JS, Java and CSS files.
  • However, CodeMirror will take over HTML. It gives you some new features like highlighting embedded JS inside <script> tags, and coloring mismatched tags differently.
• Only colors are supported, not bracket matching or auto-indentation.
• Some modes (eg. Markdown) that rely on custom CSS rules are missing colors. (Orion doesn't support custom stylesheets yet.)
