Hello everyone,
I want to create a syntaxic coloration file for the input file language of the finite element code Abaqus, but I have some difficulties to achieve my goal.
The keywords of Abaqus start with a * character and the comments with a ** string. I don't know how to deal with this and I am not sure of the lexer_filetype to use...
Well certainly not C, keywords can't contain punctuation characters.
Scintilla, the editing component used by Geany, appears to have an abaqus lexer, but it isn't included in the subset Geany provides by default.
You will have to get the Lexer from the Scite/Scintilla project and compile it in to Geany. Instructions are in the hacking file.
Cheers Lex
