--- Comment #6 from Thomas Friedrichsmeier <thomas.friedrichsme...@ruhr-uni-bochum.de> --- Hi! This is still a wanna-have to me, although there really are at least two routes, for what I am trying to accomplish. The situation is this: The "static" kate syntax highlighting works beautifully for my language. It is smart enough to differentiate the different contexts, reliably, even though that is not entirely trivial. Essentially I would like to re-use all that existing cleverness, and add some bits that cannot be defined statically. Importantly, of course, these bits to add are _not_ independent, but they do depend on the syntactical context, i.e. on exactly the rules that the "static" highlighter knows, already. The alternative route, then would leave the static highlighting static, _but_ I would need a way to 1) extract the (name of the) active context at a given cursor position 1b) preferably also extract information on the encapsulating context(s), and on where the context starts, and where it ends; this part is not terribly important, though 2) receive notification whenever the context has changed in an area (a visible area) of the document (and I should update my custom/dynamic highlighting). Does that make sense and sounds less out-of-scope? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
