[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Add AutoIt (*.au3) Lexer to Geany (#967)

> autocompletion works, but Symbols tab - with errors (i.e. garbage)...

What does autocompletion work for?  The tags in your hand made tags file? And for symbols in the current open file?

The tags file doesn't use the parser, it just needs a language defined to connect the tags structures in memory to.  

The symbols and autocomplete of things in the current file use the parser, so I would be surprised if autocomplete worked and symbols were "garbage".

What do you mean by "garbage", maybe post a picture, and the source that caused it.

Its possible that autoit is just too different from freebasic, after all Scintilla needed a separate lexer.

First check if a parser exists in [Universal ctags](https://github.com/universal-ctags/ctags) and if not then any that you write should be submitted there, thats where the Geany ones come from (mostly, a few of ours are forks, but thats for historical reasons).
