Hi,

I would like to color certain fixed words in comments in my grammar. So when the user
writes something like

// dljfdljfdfdkj
// author: ldjflkjdfldkfj

I would like to somehow highlight author or the entire line.

Any Ideas on that?

Andreas

Hi,

sounds like a case for semantic highlighting.
we use that to color //TODO xxxx like in java

If you look at TerminalsTokenTypeToPartitionMapper you can see the partition names that are being used for comments by default.

There is probably a way to hook in your own colors within the partition using the standard eclipse methods of doing so, which I am somewhat vague on.

Take a look at
org.cloudsmith.geppetto.pp.dsl.ui.coloring.PPSemanticHighlightingCalculator
in cloudsmith/geppetto @ github

There I use different ways to style; terminal tokens, textual (bad
whitespace), as well as semantic. The above class has the scaffolding
for all of that...

It also calls out to a special documentation/comments parser that parses
RDoc style comments.

Hope that helps.
