Hello,

I have a grammar like:

"start" Sample{
"details1" det1=STRING
"details2" det2=INT
"details3" det3=STRING
}

And my language will look something like:

start Sample{
details1 "Some details"
details2 20
details3 "Some data"
}

I want to COLOR only keywords such as "details1","details2","details3" in syntax highlighting.
What might be the best solution for it if i have some 30 keywords in my grammar??
Thanks in advance !! Smile Smile

Ps: the hook for token based highlighting is AbstractAntlrTokenToAttributeIdMapper/DefaultAntlrTokenToAttributeIdMapper
(the one for semantic is ISemanticHighlightingCalculator)

Hi,
The keywords are already colored, But I want to give a different color to the keywrods which comes inside "{" and "}" braces.

Like:
start Sample{
details1 "Some details"
details2 20
details3 "Some data"
}

"start " will have default color and some custom color for "details1", "details2" and "details3".

What is the best way to do it? Thanks in advance !! :)Smile

Hi simply debug the place where keyword is returned.
Then you will see what in input params are to detect if you should be
returning something else in your subclass. Then simply override the
corresponding binding and have fun

Hi Christian,
I have overridden the:
protected String calculateId(final String tokenName, final int tokenType) {} method from DefaultAntlrTokenToAttributeIdMapper class and now I am able to get all my tokens.
I removed invalid tokens for me like "RULE_STRING", "RULE_INT", all punctuation etc. But still how do I avoid "start" in:
start Sample{
details1 "Some details"
details2 20
details3 "Some data"
}

Do I have any other way than hardcoding this value ?? Because I will have a problem if a string literal is changed in the grammar.
Thanks in advance !! :)Smile

Regards,
Arshad

Hi of you do lexacal Highlighting the only Chance is Todo it on hardcoding.
For everything Else you have to Digg into Semantic highlighting

Hi,
Can we use both "DefaultAntlrTokenToAttributeIdMapper" and " ISemanticHighlightingCalculator" for syntax highlighting one xtext language?? I tried it, first calculateid() method is getting called from "DefaultAntlrTokenToAttributeIdMapper" and then method present in "ISemanticHighlightingCalculator"... Would it be a good idea? The first one is a class and 2 one is an interface... Can I assume that order of these methods which are getting called would be the same??
Thanks in advance :):)Smile

No,

ISemanticHighlightingCalculator overrules DefaultAntlrTokenToAttributeIdMapper,
they are completely separate.

Hi,
I am doing it by implementing ISemanticHighlightingCalculator. I am taking all the leaf nodes present.
My language looks something like:

Sample name.details.something {
content goes here
...............
..............
...............
}

ILeafNode treats "." as a different node.
So I get "name", ".", "details", ".", "something" as different nodes where as "name.details.something" is a single node for me.
How can I avoid this ?
Thanks for your help in advance :):)Smile

Hi,

depending on your grammar there will be a corresponding ICompositeNode

Hi christian,

If I use ISemantichighlightingCalculator, then I need to write code for every rule to highlight them or I can write calculator for selected rule?

yes you can

class MyDslUiModule extends AbstractMyDslUiModule {

def Class<? extends ISemanticHighlightingCalculator> bindISemanticHighlightingCalculator() {
MyDslSemanticHighlightingCalculator
}
}

public class MyDslSemanticHighlightingCalculator extends DefaultSemanticHighlightingCalculator{

@Inject
MyDslGrammarAccess ga;

@Override
public void provideHighlightingFor(XtextResource resource, IHighlightedPositionAcceptor acceptor,
CancelIndicator cancelIndicator) {
ICompositeNode rootNode = resource.getParseResult().getRootNode();

for (INode node : rootNode.getAsTreeIterable()) {
if (node.getGrammarElement() == ga.getGreetingAccess().getNameIDTerminalRuleCall_1_0()) {
acceptor.addPosition(node.getOffset(), node.getLength(), DefaultHighlightingConfiguration.KEYWORD_ID);
}
}
super.provideHighlightingFor(resource, acceptor, cancelIndicator);
}

}
