On to the syntax highlighting. I shamelessly stole LexR.cxx from scintilla and I've created data/filetypes.r. I then wrote the styleset_r_init() and styleset_r() functions, added init_styleset_case(GEANY_FILETYPES_R, r) to highlighting_init_styles (), and added styleset_case(GEANY_FILETYPES_R, r) to highlighting_set_styles().
Unfortunately, the only style that is applied to R scripts is the default style. If I change the hex color codes in highlighting.c or in data/filetypes.r, the new colors will be used. However, none of the other styles are being used.
As Jason Oster suggested, probably Scintilla isn't finding the lexer.
You need to edit: scintilla/KeyWords.cxx scintilla/Makefile.am (and scintilla/makefile.win32)
For an example, see the changes for LexBasic.cxx: http://geany.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/geany?view=rev&revision=1635
The link was the trick to figuring out everything that needed to be edited! Thanks for that. R script syntax highlighting is working now.
I'm not a Windows user, so I only made the changes necessary for a *nix build of Geany. The following is the resulting patch against version 0.14:
http://svn.cross-lfs.org/svn/repos/patches/geany/geany-0.14-R_highlighting-1...
I also added a link to the patch on the Geany Wishlist page.
Thanks again,
Andrew
