Hi,
I'm wondering: wouldn't it be easy to get gretl syntax highlighting also
in other GTK-related text editors, like Gedit? Since gretl uses the
gtksourceview library/standard, could it even be as simple as to re-use
the file gui/gretl.lang?
If yes, would it be an idea to submit this definition file upstream to
the GTK/Gnome people?
Hi all,
let me hijack that post for a related issue:
In summer we've spoken about an eventual new GUI for gretl. When playing
around with Julia a while ago I've used the atom text editor
(https://atom.io/) and the Juno IDE (http://docs.junolab.org/latest/)
based on atom.
Atom is a open-source project pushed by facebook and offers a very
flexible 'state-of-the-art' editor which can be extended to become a
proper IDE. Juno, for instance, offers syntax highlighting, a plot pane,
integration with Julia's debugger, a console for running code etc.
As there are many templates out there on how to build such an IDE based
on atom for different software: Why not make use of that thing?
Best,
Artur
