Yes, this is where I got the info to add the COBOL lexr
OK, it mentions about checking the Scintilla project first, but after several recent patches I just added a clearer warning.
Thanks, I really just want to contribute back as much as I am possible.
A few points: We use an unmodified version of Scintilla - any changes to the COBOL lexer should be passed to Scintilla before we apply them. Using the C lexer style constants also means we don't have to update and maintain the cobol copies in editor.c.
I will submit this new lexer to the Scintilla project after the changes are made.
I wasn't clear; there's already a COBOL scintilla lexer - so I think the Scintilla maintainer would only accept a patch to improve the existing one.
Awesome, I see this in scintzilla 2.01. what needs to happen to get this merged?
