Matthew (or anybody),
I want to piggyback my question onto this thread, as I suspect you'll know the answer. If I create a new lexer for Scintilla, and then compile Scintilla, what must I do to get that new lexer (and new Scintilla) to work with Geany?
I tried to look into this a little bit once (at the time as almost a total newbie to C/C++) (about 18 months ago). I vaguely recall that Geany needs something other (or in addition to) the <lexer>.properties file which SciTE needs to make use of a new lexer. (As well, Scintilla and SciTE need some changes to various files other than the new lexer file to make a lexer take effect.)
Is there something about the requirements or procedure to get a new lexer / new Scintilla to work with Geany?
Thanks, Randy Kramer

I have upgraded my working copy of Geany to use Scintilla 2.25. Attached are patches of the upgrade[1] (*massive patch*) and the application of my Scintilla patches[2] which were later merged upstream.
