SyntaxEditor lexing and parsing without windows references

Hi Matt,

While our assemblies don't target .NET Core at this time, it's likely that the core Text.* ones would port over since they don't contain any UI platform code themselves.

As for generated classification type providers, you would need to strip out all refs to the IHighlightingStyleRegistry and in the properties that return IClassificationType, just create the instance as needed since there is no registry to do the initial lookup on.  That should remove all UI platform refs from that class.

I think I understand.  Should I keep 2 separate sets of gerenerated .cs files?  I mean I will still use the WPF UI control for my language in another app so I would need the highligting there, wouldn't I?  Or is there a another way?

A lot of what is generated would still be platform agnostic and could be shared.  The classification type provider is a different story since it does reference the highlighting style registry.  So you would need two copies of that, one per platform.  Likewise the generated SyntaxLanguage references UI pieces too and you'd need two copies of that as well.

Right, no need to copy them all.  I'll give that a try.

Thanks
