First, I want to say thanks for all the help given in this forum. SyntaxEditor really is a fantastic product. I'd like to make a suggestion though on something that I think it is presently lacking; a how-to guide for developers.
I've spent the last 3 days creating a lexical parser for an XML-based scripting language that my company uses internally. As I'm sure many would agree, sifting through the help and examples to work out how to do this is quite difficult. Just getting a handle on the terminology (scopes, states, tokens, patterngroups, etc.) is daunting. I think a manual that steps through the process of analying a document and then building a language for it would be well received.
Regards,
Scot
