As far as I can tell from reading some old posts and requests, Geany does not support Scintillua.
I am neither a C nor C++ programmer (although I am making some feeble efforts at trying to write a lexer for Scintilla / Geany for a variation on the TWiki markup language).
So, from an ignorant point of view, because Scintillua is a variant of Scintilla, I would think (or hope ;-) that it should be fairly easy to use Scintillua in place of Scintilla in Geany.
Has anyone dug into this at all?
I ask because it looks like it would be a whole lot easier to write my lexer in Scintillua than in C/C++ (and don't even think about me trying to integrate Scintillua into Geany unless it would be some very simple matter of changing sort of a dependency or something (like saying "include Scintillua" instead of saying "include Scintilla" if that is how Scintilla gets "attached" to Geany)).

The documentation for Scintillua says "The environments of Scintilla-based applications vary greatly, but as long as external lexers are supported, Scintillua can be dropped into any existing installation."
Geany does not support external lexers, so it can't use Scintillua.
