filetypes.* configuration file
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
All languages need a data/filetypes.foo configuration file. See
data/filetypes.c for an example. For languages with a Scintilla lexer,
there should be a [styling] section, to correspond to the styles used
in styleset_foo().
data/filetypes.c for an example.
Programming languages should have:
[keywords] if the lexer supports it.
[settings] mostly for comment settings.
[build_settings] for commands to run.
For languages with a Scintilla lexer, there should be a [styling] section,
to correspond to the styles used in styleset_foo() in highlighting.c -
see below.
Syntax highlighting
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
For syntax highlighting, you will need to edit highlighting.c and add
the following things:
1. Write styleset_foo_init() to setup default styles and load style
settings from the filetypes.foo configuration file. For details, see
styleset_c_init().
settings from the filetypes.foo configuration file. You should probably
start by copying and adapting another filetype's initialization, such
as styleset_asm_init().
2. Write styleset_foo() to apply styles when a new scintilla widget
is created. For details, see styleset_c().
is created. Again you could copy and adapt a function like styleset_asm().
3. Add this in highlighting_init_styles():
init_styleset_case(GEANY_FILETYPES_FOO, foo);
4. Add this in highlighting_set_styles():
styleset_case(GEANY_FILETYPES_FOO, foo);
Other features
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Error message parsing is done in msgwin_parse_compiler_error_line() of
msgwindow.c. See the ParseData typedef for more information. (In future
this may be done with a regex).

in editor.c. For now, this prevents calltips and autocompletion when
typing in a comment (but it can still be forced by the user).
If the Scintilla lexer supports user type keywords (e.g. SCLEX_CPP),
see editor_lexer_get_type_keyword_idx() in editor.c.
If the Scintilla lexer supports user type keyword highlighting (e.g.

Adding a TagManager parser

This assumes the Geany filetype already exists.
This assumes the filetype for Geany already exists.
First write or find a CTags compatible parser, foo.c. Note that there
are some language patches for CTags at:
