[Geany] the fine manual
by John Gabriele 10 Aug '07

10 Aug '07

Updating Geany's manual is, IMO, a bit of a chore. Just my preference I suppose, but working with docbook to write docs seems way too onerous. There's a lot of tags to remember, and the whole thing is very <emphasis>very</emphasis> verbose. But most of all, docbook is not very pretty to read in source form. Anyway, I was thinking of making a small update to the manual, but then figured I'd first try to improve the situation. A while back, I asked Enrico (hi Enrico!) about what he thought of using something instead of docbook. I can't find the email right now, but the response was something fairly close to, "well, come up with something and we'll have a look". So, after having looked at many different doc markup schemes in the meantime (at things like Texinfo, Perl POD, Perl 6 Pod, TeX, LaTeX, Markdown, Textile, and so on), I finally found something that was easy to read and write, fairly good looking (even as plain text), capable for large documents, well-supported, and that is able to act as a source format to be converted to various other formats: reStructuredText (aka "reST"). Fast forward to today, I went ahead and manually converted the manual to reST. Here's the result: * http://www.milliwatt-software.com/jmg/temp/geany.txt -- the source text * http://www.milliwatt-software.com/jmg/temp/geany.html -- default style * http://www.milliwatt-software.com/jmg/temp/geany2.html -- with Geany stylesheet * http://www.milliwatt-software.com/jmg/temp/geany3.html -- with my own stylesheet If you want to convert the above source text file to html yourself, install the python-docutils package and run the file through like so:: rst2html geany.txt > geany.html That package also comes with ``rst2latex``, which can then be used to produce a pdf, if you so desire (I haven't tried it). Run ``rst2html --help`` for more info on the various options for converting to html (there's a bunch). Some changes in the above version of the manual (none cast in stone) you'll notice: 1. It's all rendered as just one big html page (headings link back to table of contents). 2. Some of the larger tables have been changed to definition lists just because they were easier to type in that way. 3. The text of the GPL was flattened and just put in as a preformatted block (a straight copy/paste from the COPYING file). 4. The "contributing to this doc" section was modified to reflect this doc's source format. Also a few small grammatical and spelling corrections were made. I think it would be great to see the official manual switch to reST, and keeping the manual up-to-date should be rather easier. Have a look at the source text, and see if you think reading and writing it is preferable to dealing with ... [gulp]... docbook. ;) ---John

[Geany] Plugin Events Patch
by blackdog 07 Aug '07

07 Aug '07

Hi there So here's a patch tested against r 1767 which adds a single onCharAdded event for plugins that implement onCharAdded(). This is experimental and is really for you to comment on, if it's ok by you I'll add the other events. So for example my neko plugin looks like this ... void onCharAdded(ScintillaObject *sci,char c) { printf("nice one %c\n",c); switch(c) { case '(': case '.': executeUtil("process"); break; } } Cheers bd. -- http://www.blackdog-haxe.com/ "It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society." --Jiddu Krishnamurti

I'm using Geany for both C/C++ programmation, and web development, aswell as text editor of course :-) I must say it's already perfect. That's it. No question. I just know that this kind of title attract most people. Sorry for wasting your time! Thanks you all the geany contributors (even the translators), you did an awesome work.

[Geany] Suggestion: mini-projects-todo-lists
by h.aling＠home.nl 06 Aug '07

06 Aug '07

Dear list, First of all: I'm not a software developer (except for php and other scripting languages)... What if a ToDo list/'Projects wanting to be fixed' list gets posted on this list every month (or so) ? This way developers may pick a project and become 'owner' of that subproject of Geany. Think of it as mini 'Goole Summer of Code' projects. The owner of the subproject should be guided a bit to make sure the code is up to Geany standards and once finished, easy mergable. -just an idea- Harold.

[Geany] small usability suggestion
by Mateusz Mucha 04 Aug '07

04 Aug '07

As I'm not an experienced programmer and really lazy on top of that, I tend to jump to other areas of code quite often. Example: I edit line 199 at the moment, but want/need to take a look at destroy_earth() function, copy two lines of code and jump back to where I was straight away. It would be cool if there was some keyword combo or an icon to move me back to where I was before I used the "functions browser" on the left for the last time (and perhaps the last time before that if the combo is used twice"). It should ignore jumps achieved by using arrows and pgup/pgdn. Or perhaps a similar feature is impremented alredy? -- regards, muszek - jerzy - Mateusz Mucha muszek(a)gmail.com ubuntunews.info | muszek.com | hottrick.org | krakownews.pl | love-calculator.org ;)

[Geany] plugin api
by blackdog 04 Aug '07

04 Aug '07

Hi there On looking at the sci_wrappers.c and having implemented the plugin sci stuff i think most people would be like me and want all of the sci wrapper functions available in the plugin api, more or less. Is there a reason to not just add all of them in one go rather than piecemeal? If not, I'll do a little script to strip them out into the correct format. Comments? thanks bd -- http://www.blackdog-haxe.com/ "It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society." --Jiddu Krishnamurti

[Geany] Crash in compare_symbol()
by Jeff Pohlmeyer 01 Aug '07

01 Aug '07

I just ran into a (probably rare) crash bug in Geany. If I try to switch Document->Set Encoding from "Unicode->UTF-8" to "Without encoding" , then the next time I save the document I get a segfault. It looks like it happens when Geany tries to rebuild the tags... Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. [Switching to Thread -1219221808 (LWP 30632)] 0xb75d8f91 in strcmp () from /lib/libc.so.6 (gdb) bt #0 0xb75d8f91 in strcmp () from /lib/libc.so.6 #1 0x080c5e8e in compare_symbol (a=0x84ed040, b=0x84ed030) at symbols.c:311 .... .... .... #37 0x080b2581 in main (argc=12, argv=0xbfe97994) at main.c:769 (gdb) frame 1 #1 0x080c5e8e in compare_symbol (a=0x84ed040, b=0x84ed030) at symbols.c:311 311 ret = strcmp(a->str, b->str); (gdb) print a->str $1 = (gchar *) 0x0 (gdb) print b->str $2 = (gchar *) 0x0 As you can see, compare_symbol() calls strcmp(0x0,0x0) but I don't know enough about what's happening to know if it's OK just to check if ( a->str && b->str ) else return 0, or maybe there is a problem with the upstream code that this should never happen anyway. It's not a big problem for me since I rarely need to change the encoding options, but I thought it should at least be noted here. - Jeff
