Emacs Major Mode for TXL Contributed by Markus Stoy, mstoy@gmx.de, Rostock (Germany), November/December 2003 Updated for Emacs/X-Emacs compatibility, Ivan N. Veselov, veselov@gmail.com, October 2008 A few updates and enhancements, Noam Postavsky, see https://github.com/npostavs/txl-mode Installation ------------ 1. Copy the file txl-mode.el to a directory where Emacs can find it (somewhere within load-path). To install for yourself only, this can often be in a directory called ".elisp" in your home directory. To install for everyone on your system, it should be in the Emacs site-lisp directory, often "/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp". 2. Add the following two lines to the Emacs init file (normally ".emacs" or "init.el") in your home directory. (require 'txl-mode) (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.\\([tT]xl\\|[gG]rm\\|[gG]rammar\\|[rR]ul\\(es\\)?\\|[mM]od\\(ule\\)?\\)$" . txl-mode)) 3. Test by editing a TXL source file. Features -------- - syntax highlighting (with font-lock-mode) - automatic indentation according to TXL style guide (perhaps stil buggy...) - compile/debug/run TXL program from within Emacs - comment/uncomment regions - insert skeletion rules/functions/defines, find and insert matching end's - abbreviations for keywords (with abbrev-mode; scroll down to see a list) - TXL submenu which contains all new functions and their keyboard shortcuts Wish list --------- - navigation (jump to nonterminal/function/rule under cursor, next/previous nonterminal/function/rule, ...) - use comint for run/debug/compile instead of simple shell-command? (which looks ugly under Windows) Known bugs ---------- - 'x% is highlighted as comment - compile and debug don't work under Windows
