Hi fans and users of Geany ;)

As not everybody is might not reading the SweetGeany's subversion announcements inside the IRC channel or the subversion commits mailing list I just want to inform you about a recent change I did for LaTeX support on Geany's current subversion version (r4524).

With svn r4524 I moved some of the very LaTeX specific code out of the Geany core code into geanyLaTeX(1) plugin with svn r1126. At the moment its about the code, which is auto closing the \begin{] and \begingroup{} environments.

If you are interested into this changes, please checkout a recent version of geanyLaTeX plugin via

svn co https://geany-plugins.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/geany-plugins/trunk/geanyl...

and compile it against a recent build of Geany. Please take care, as it will most probable compile with geany plugin API v169, but due its also depending on removing the function out of Geany itself, it might can have some funny effect if you didn't ensure to use a version below the above mentioned svn version. You have been warned ;)

Please also check the documentation (as pdf inside svn inside doc/) for info how to configure it.

Known issues: I'm happy nearly everything is working now from inside the plugin - at least from my current best knowledge.

There is only one piece missing with setting the correct indent on the closing \end{} or \endgroup{}. So in such a case:

\begin{table} \begin{tabular}

the completion for the tabular environment will be without indent so it will look like:

\end{tabular} \end{table}

As this is from my point of just annoying, but a non blocker I committed the changes to subversion for some further peer testing. However this is getting fixed soon.

Given this, I'd be happy for any feedback, either positive or negative.

Happy TeX'ing Frank
