Re: [pdt-dev] Update on Semantic Highlighting
|
I think that we can come up with very smart semantic rules (using type
inference for instance).
When a plugin developer add a new semantic rule, it is automatically
added to the PHP Syntax Coloring preference page.
This means that no matter what are the rules and where they come from
(PDT or a PDT subplugin), the end user has a total control on the
syntax coloring. The end user can enable/disable rules and change the
style associated to the rule.
Use cases are the SmartyPDT highlighting, or PHPUnit special
highlighting (for annotation, methods that are prefixed with test in a
subtype of the TestCase class) etc.
Let's get it right for PDT first, then we can worry about PDT's subplugins.
Best regards,
Wi
