Initial Problems:

• The udl-list.json needs to be updated.
• Nothing in the submission was placed in the right directories/location.
  • Don't create a new XML directory. That's not the right structure for this repo.
  • The automated checkers didn't find anything because it cannot see anything in your submission, because nothing is in the right place.
• The overrideMap should not be submitted, as it's not part of the repo.

Please follow the structure and naming conventions and other rules for submissions, as explained in CONTRIBUTING.md

PeterCJ -- thought I did follow the directions. I am not familiar with GitHub or exactly what you want.There is a lot to read and I am sure it is totally clear to you, but not to someone who is unfamiliar with all this. Exactly what directory structure would you like? I saw nothing about a directory structure, and since all the files have the same name, I had to do something I did update the udl-list.json. Did it not make it? Steven Hyde

I did update the udl-list.json. Did it not make it?

I do not see any modifications to the udl-list.json file in the change list. If you click on the "Files Changed" tab, you will see that udl-list.json is not in the list of changed files. Did you include your updates in your push to your branch?

I saw nothing about a directory structure.

CONTRIBUTING.md Point 9 literally says, "each file must go in the right directory in the repository", and the items below list which directory each goes into.

• You need to put the UDL file as UDLs\thinkScript_bySBHyde.xml, not as XML\thinkScript.xml
  • see point 2 in the CONTRIBUTING.md file, which says, "The XML file must be given a unique name, because of the file structure. The name must include the name of the language, but also something else to make it unique.".
  • Thus, my suggested rename includes not only the correct directory, but also making the filename meet the requirement of point 2.
  • Point 9 confirms the correct directory.
• You need to put the auto-completion file as autoCompletion\thinkScript.xml, not as XML\autoCompletion\thinkScript.xml
  • see point 7 in CONTRIBUTING.md for the correct location, and naming requirements
  • Point 9 confirms the correct directory.
• You need to put the FunctionList definition as functionList\thinkScript.xml, not as XML\functionList\thinkScript.xml
  • see point 8 in CONTRIBUTING.md for the correct location, and naming requirements
  • Point 9 confirms the correct directory
• You need to put the sample file as UDL-samples\thinkScript_bySBHyde.ts, not as .\Sample.ts
  • See point 6 for the rules about including a sample file if you've got a functionList, and for the directory it needs to go in
  • Point 9 confirms the correct directory

There is a lot to read

It's about a page of text. I am sorry if that's a lot of text to you, but the document was created so that anyone could read it, and follow its instructions, to get everything into the repo in a consistent manner. Without those rules, it makes for unusable chaos, which would then be useful to no one when they try to use one of these UDLs and the associated files.

I wonder if I might ask a question or 3 to make certain there are no improvements to be made before I submit this. To be clear, I am asking so I might improve my submission, I am not asking for program updates/enhancements. 1) SYNTAX HIGHLIGHTING -When I first created the keywords, the program did not honor the input. This is what I got. [image: image.png] I subsequently added operators . , ( ) ; (period, comma, Open Paren, Close Paren , semicolon) and got the output I was expecting. this [image: image.png] Is this the correct approach? Should these delimiters be added somewhere else or in another way? 2) AUTOCOMPLETE - The language utilizes a "dot" notation, (Class.Function). I implemented AUTOCOMPLETE by entering fully qualified keywords Class Class.Function1 Class.Function2 Class.Function3 Note: I did not enter the fully qualified keywords for Syntax highlighting as it wasn't necessary. My question - If a user types Class followed by a period, is there a way to then filter the autocomplete list to show just Function1, Function2, Function3 ? If so, how do I do this? 3) AUTOCOMPLETE - The language supports logical comparison phrases such as "is not equal to" I placed these phases in the Autocomplete file, Perfectly valid XML entries. They look like this <KeyWord name="is not equal to"/> This did not cause any problems, but they phrases did not show up in the autocomplete window. Is this unsupported? or do I need to do something else? Steven Hyde

GitHub ignores images from email replies, so I cannot see them, sorry.

Is this the correct approach? Should these delimiters be added somewhere else or in another way?

If you want punctuation to be able to separate keywords with no spaces, yes, it should go in operators1 like you did. Though I would usually put the ( and ) as the open and close of a separate delimiter (like delimiters 2), rather than as an operator. Inside the STYLE for delimiters 2, you could then checkmark all the other types of things that are allowed to still be highlighted when still inside parentheses (which could be all or most of them, if you want). But it's up to you, really. If this is working for you, that's fine.

AUTOCOMPLETE - The language utilizes a "dot" notation,

Technically, autocomplete is meant for alphanumeric words. You can try to include the punctuation as part of it, but that sometimes brings unexpected consequences.

is there a way to then filter the autocomplete list

If Settings > Preferences > Auto-Completion is set to Make auto-completion brief, it will do that with alphanumeric keywords. But the "." will cause Notepad++'s auto-completion function to not search any farther backwards for matches, so my guess is that it won't work the way you want. Notepad++'s auto-completion doesn't have that hierarchical feature, to be able to limit what goes on the left and right of a hierarchical separator like . or :: or similar from other languages. But if you set the additionalWordChar attribute in the autoCompletion definition file to include . , I believe it will get around that by treating it as a normal word char, for purposes of completion.

The manual specifically says, "NOTE: Spaces can’t be used as the character for the attributes" -- this includes the <KeyWord name="..." > , where the keywords themselves are stored. Sorry. Some people have tried using a unicode nonbreaking space (U+00A0,   in the XML), which makes it look like what you want, visually... it would insert that character instead of the space. But then, before you save/compile/interpret/run your code, you'd have to replace all instances of \xA0 with \x20 to get them to all be spaces and work for your actual program -- that gets tedius, so I think most people give up on trying to use those.

The manual specifically says, "NOTE: Spaces can’t be used as the character for the attributes"

It actually said it very poorly, and that was more meant for the <Environment> tag attributes. I am clarifying that NOTE, as well as adding the space-limitation to the <KeyWord name="..."> description paragraph, a little lower down.

[sbhyde-superstar]

1) Just an FYI. Moving ( & ) to the Delimiters causes the things in the () to NOT be highlighted -- (NotHighlighted) . . 2) FYI. The Class.Funciton1 notation does work 3) Very well . I will remove those keyword phrases and replace them with individual keywords. By this I mean "is not equal to" will become 4 Key Words. I believe I have all the answers I need. Let me get the changes done.
