Adding a filetype
-----------------
For syntax highlighting, you will need to find (or write) a Scintilla lexer, LexFoo.cxx.
You can add a filetype without syntax highlighting or tag parsing, but check to see if those
features have been written elsewhere.
For syntax highlighting, it may be possible to use an existing Scintilla lexer in the scintilla/
subdirectory - if not, you will need to find (or write) one, LexFoo.cxx. Try the Scintilla project
first. Remember to update scintilla/Makefile.am and scintilla/makefile.win32.
For tag parsing (e.g. for the symbol list), see 'Adding a TagManager parser' below.
Add GEANY_FILETYPES_FOO and initialize it in filetypes.[hc].
Add GEANY_FILETYPES_FOO to filetypes.h.
Initialize GEANY_FILETYPES_FOO in filetypes_init_types() of filetypes.c.
Rebuild Geany.
From your geany/ directory, run:
src/geany --generate-data-files
(The src/ prefix may be different, depending on where the binary is generated.)
This will update data/filetype_extensions.conf. Note that you need GEANY_DEBUG to be defined when
building Geany for the --generate-data-files argument to work - this is always defined in the SVN
version.
