Lex and Yacc syntax highlighting for Nano
Posted: February 15th, 2011 | Author: Abe S. | Filed under: Uncategorized | Comments OffThere’s not a lot to them, but it’s better than anything I could find on the Internet. The real key feature is a line in the yacc syntax highlighting file that marks whitespace at the end of lines. Since yacc/bison are sensitive to that, it’s good to be able to see it.
Nano syntax highlighting for yacc or bison:
## Syntax highlighting for yacc/bison input files syntax "yacc" "\.y$" color red "%[a-zA-Z0-9]*" ## String highlighting. You will in general want your comments and ## strings to come last, because syntax highlighting rules will be ## applied in the order they are read in. color brightyellow "<[^= ]*>" ""(\\.|[^"])*"" ## This string is VERY resource intensive! color brightyellow start=""(\\.|[^"])*\\[[:space:]]*$" end="^(\\.|[^"])*"" ## Comments color brightblue start="/\*" end="\*/" ## Visible space at line ends color green,green "[[:space:]]+$"
Nano syntax highlighting for Lex or Flex:
## Syntax highlighting for lex/flex input files syntax "lex" "\.l$" color red "%[^[[:space:]]]*" ## String highlighting. You will in general want your comments and ## strings to come last, because syntax highlighting rules will be ## applied in the order they are read in. color brightyellow "<[^= ]*>" ""(\\.|[^"])*"" ## This string is VERY resource intensive! color brightyellow start=""(\\.|[^"])*\\[[:space:]]*$" end="^(\\.|[^"])*"" ## Comments color brightblue start="/\*" end="\*/"
