New programming language support

[a.stavonin]

Hi all. I've started from your manual for new languages but it's too old as doesn't work any more. First problem is "Load hotfix" returns "Invalid hot fix.  Could not open manifest: File not found".
And second problem is keywords. If I'm loading plugin manually keywords list are greyed but "cload" returns 0, what means successful regarding doc-comments.
So, do you have valid manual?
How can I setup keywords list?

Is this problem specifically with loading the LOGO example at the web page you point to?

The problem exists as with example as with my own language extension (as the extension is based on the example).

OK, I am working on a similar project, but I have not tried to make a hotfix yet. Some of my recent discussion is over here:
http://community.slickedit.com/index.php/topic,8923.0.html.

Is your language definition working in the GUI for (e.g.) syntax coloring of keywords?

I think you are way ahead of me in the process, but if you need help with any of these specific items, I might be able help you:

• Setting up the list of keywords for the lexer, and exporting it to <lexer_name>.vlx file
• Defining language name, file extensions, lexer name and invoking _CreateLanguage()

As an experiment, I will also try creating a hotfix for my language, although it doesn't support tagging yet. But it will be interesting to see if the hotfix works.
