I hacked at the scite /scintilla properties tying to add BaCon & HUG highlighting

*Well some may have seen that I added Bacon /HUG Highlighting to geany and you can also compile from the geany GUI unofficially it was a hack (using a chainsaw) but it works nicely

but in order to someday (I hope) we can get an official Bacon /HUG highlighting for geany and scite
or at the least get the ball rolling in that direction

I thought this would be easier to do but it wasnt I spent three days just to get a simple hack going
there are a lot of files to look through but.. seeing it can be done may motivate someone
else who likes to code in C and do it the "right way"

there are some really nice advantages using scite for the documentation of help pages
or how to's to see the highlighted keywords in your source code
you can export BaCon code to HTML ,RTF , PDF ,LaTeX, XML Very Happy

I could have stripped out the properties files to reduce the size
but that would be counter productive for exporting all the code type highlighting
to HTML ,RTF , PDF ,LaTeX, XML

this is alpha-hacked feedback needed to improve things

*I will clean things up a bit then upload the modified sources with a diff*

Hey GatorDog

what I do for text size is the same I do for the browsers
and that is the old fashioned keyboard combo Ctrl + + or Ctrl --
to adjust the size quickly

I havent played around with the fonts yet but that should be documented
somewhere most likely in the global.properties ?

the main selling point of scite is making color coded files
for documentaion

I use geany for compiling and everyday work

I think it is possible to add a compile option because C code
has an option to compile its a matter of digging in a little deeper

the second reason is geany recomends you get a filetype
working for scite first then they can modify a new one for geany

thanks for trying I will work on all the points you suggested

I am learning more about this as I go

Dear GatorDog and Joe,

I changed the global settings for font and other things (statusbar on, taskbar on, size etc). The font settinsgs are around line 402 of the Global options file:

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=72399here is the scite package I compiled and un edited sources except for the *.desktop file and used a slack.desc

http://www.puppy2.org/slaxer/scite-2.29-i486-2.tgz

this way we all start at the same place and all line numbers match up and we can diff to this
package /original sources so that we we have a clean reference point

Joe

its easier to write my own keyword generator and have it output phpbb code
so I can post in the forum here is a start

*will come back to this and finish it off
