OutliningNodeAction? - SyntaxEditor for Windows Forms Forum

Posted 19 years ago by NSXDavid

I have a language that has constructions line this:


if (something = somethingelse)
  dosomething()
  dosomethingelse()
else
  dosomethingmore()
  domorethingsthanbefore()
  stopdoingthings()
.

Blocks are created by keywords and closed by period (aka Clarion, for those with a looooong language memory). I'm working on the outlining now.... but I don't see how to handle the case in the above example. Is it possible to have the if->else one block and the else->. another block? The else both stops and starts an outlineing span... but OutliningNodeAction doesn't seem to support that concept.

Hi David... yes you are correct, a Token cannot both end one outlining node and start another at the same time. Of course it can collapse your entire IF statement as one node from the IF through the "." character.
