Hi,

I have only been using PN for a couple of weeks by I must thank the developers as this is the best programming orientated editor I have ever used, and I have used alot!

I have been struggling with this for ages so wondered if someone could help.

I cannot seem to get the tag kinds to work correctly and it seems to be working differently to the online documentation however I am sure I must be doing something wrong. Below is my custom tagging section from the file additionalLanguages.conf

--langdef=VBScript
--langmap=VBScript:.vbs
--regex-VBScript=/^Sub ([A-za-z0-9]*\>)/\1/c,Class/i
--regex-VBScript=/^Function ([A-za-z0-9]*\>)/\1/f,Function/i

Here is the section from the file additionalSupportedSchemes.ini
[VBScript]
c = 3
f = 1

The above correctly tags all VBScript Sub's and Functions however the tag heading for the subs is unknown.

If I change it to s,Section and s = 3 they all end up under the function heading.

I must admit I find the documentation and example a little confusing as the kind-spec is set to s,Section then in the ini file s = 39 which is not no the list and appears as entity?

What I have found if that often the tag type will corrispond to the letter you chose i.e. c will appear as Class, v as Variable etc rather than the number you assign in the ini file.

Can anyone help me with this?

Also is there any way to add new tag types as this would be a great feature as you can see I am using Class to tag Sub's as there is no Subroutine or Sub tag type.

Thanks in advance

bump ;-)

Can anyone help me with this or even confirm the behaviour so that I know it is not just something I am doing wrong?

As seems defining new extensions and schemes doesn't work.

This works:
--langdef=properties --langmap=properties:.ini --regex-properties=/[ \t]*function (.+)[ \t]*\(/\1/s,Section/ --regex-properties=/[ \t]*test (.+)[ \t]*\(/\1/s,Section/
This doesn't
--langdef=properties --langmap=properties:.as --regex-properties=/[ \t]*function (.+)[ \t]*\(/\1/s,Section/
And this doesn't (note that I have defined the scheme as f = 1):
--langdef=properties --langmap=properties:.ini --regex-properties=/[ \t]*function (.+)[ \t]*\(/\1/f,Function/

I've also found this line in a changelog of 2.0.8.718:

28) ctags tag provider is now an extension, custom tagger
plugin format removed

Does that mean that it won't work?

BTW. Is there some easy way to use the same tagging in a new (custom) format just as in an existing format (I want to use JavaScript tagger for ActionScript).

Scratch that - I got it working :-). As seems one need to have exact same name of the language in the additionalLanguages.conf, additionalSupportedSchemes.ini, extmap.dat and *.scheme. You also need to use the same extension as in extmap.dat
