[Geany] Javascript.tags

[Stefan Zimmermann]

Hi Enrico,

dojo is a very mature javascript library many big companies are implementing
their web apps with
http://www.dojotoolkit.org/

You will find IBM, Sun/Oracle, AOL, Cisco, Sitepen, Thomson Reuters and
others among those companies relying on dojo's javascript tools. Chances are
that geany get's a boost once it could handle the few quirks which come with
dojo for the parser.

As I experimented with some source files using dojo, just commenting the
dojo.declare statement and replacing it with var myfunc = function()
already made geany understand a lot more about the symbols and display them,
so can't be that much.

btw. as far as I can say already (and after one week of using geany now) I
kind of seem to settle on it after a long long journey.
Great job, just the right mix of speed, simplicity, features and
configuration capability.

Once I figure out more about geany's internals I may help, but for now I am
very busy with a dojo/python/C project for one of the big guys I mentioned
before ;)

best
Stefan
