Hi Fabio, Malaka,
After my discussion with Stephane, we've decided that Malaka should
continue with improving the core editor as such..
That is, better syntax highlighting and stuff..
What do you refer to when you say "stuff"?
I've implemented a bit of ContentOutline Page,
(that shows the overall
view of the page, like titles, paragraphs overview etc), as a
TreeViewer implementation.
For now, I'll try to integrate the present editor
with xeclipse
extension. Then, I'd try to introduce wikimodel support, that is,
conversion of one syntax to another syntax. For this, I think we'll
have to code editors for all other syntaxes too, since after
conversion, we'll have to support editing in that syntax.. right??
Actually this is exactly what the GSoc project is about (not just
plain syntax highlighting).
So this might be an issue because this is exactly what Malaka is
supposed to do.
Currently he is investigating the integration of the new rendering
infrastructure into the Eclipse framework so that the output XDOM will
be the base for all the syntax highlighting, suggestions etc.
Malaka, could you please report the status of your investigation and
the problems you encountered?
I still have the feeling that you are both working on the very same
project, with a big overlap (i.e., the "stuff" you mentioned before
that should be done by Malaka is exactly what you are working on).
I propose that Malaka continues to work on the integration of the
rendering infrastructure as the source of structural information,
exchanging as much as possible on the list. If he succeeds this means
that your code will need to be refactored to conform to the new
architecture. If he doesn't then he will improve what you have been
doing. I don't see any other solution to reconcile your work with the
GSoC.
WDYT?
Cheers,
Fabio
