Code folding is provided by C++ code from Scintilla and compiled into Geany. One example is the LexFortran.cxx you have. You would need such a lexer for your language. The lexer usually also gives you syntax highlighting for the language.

As its compiled into Geany you need the Geany source code from github. You will then find the LexFortran.cxx (and friends) in the scintilla/lexers/ directory.

You need to read the hacking file in the Geany top level which describes how to add a new lexer and the scintilla documentation and the example of all the other lexers. The lexers are simply state machines so an electrical engineer should have no trouble with them.

Cheers Lex

Hello guys,

I am an intern at Spark Calibration Services.They have developed a local language on geany and I am trying to add code folding points on it. I come accross this linkhttp://wiki.geany.org/howtos/adding_fold_points) but couln't get a clue. First of all, i am trying to figure out how to do this on a familiar language(ie. fortran), then i will convert this procedure to the local language. I have downloaded fortran lexer(http://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/code/ci/c8042eb1bd3e5596d96621a5cf23958d7...). Which directory should i add this lexer? And what should i do next?

ps: I study electrical engineering and unfortunately i don't know much about text editors. So please write the basic steps to do it.

Thank you very much,

Hakan Aydın
