[Wtp-wst-dev] Extending source parsers

[Robert Gründler <robert@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

i've already posted to the eclipse forums about this issue, but i'm not 
sure if the WTP
developers follow this forum, so i'll ask here.

The last few days i've been trying to find info about extending the 
HTML/XML editor
to support syntax-highlighting for grammars of templating languages 
which are not XML-compliant
( like http://www.twig-project.org/doc/templates.html).

However, i've found this bug report, which seems to indicate that this 
is not possible:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=225994

As this bug report is quite old, i'd like to ask if this limitation is 
still true.

There is an extension point which sounds promising, but i'm not sure if 
this can be used
to add syntax highlighting for tokens which are not recognized by the 
XMLTokenizer:

org.eclipse.wst.sse.ui.semanticHighlighting

any hints would be greatly appreciated!


regards,

-robert
