Hey all! For the past week or so, I’ve been working on improving the syntax highlighting of the Emacs inform7-mode written by GuiltyDolphin (it already had sufficient imenu navigation and auto-indentation as well). My goal was to provide syntax highlighting that gives better guidance as to what coun…

Hey, I just noticed the ELI in there… are you using my EventListItem extension?? oh my god what a coincidence! Yes I am! It’s super useful actually, I really like having it. Thank you for writing it! By the way, I found it because it’s included with adv3Lite as one of the extensions it comes with…

[image] John Ziegler: I will say though, I rely pretty heavily on the symbol outliner/jump to symbol in the T3 ext. for VSCode… can eMacs do that or would something have to be developed for that? The tads3-mode plugin I’m working on actually does have something like that. I’m not sure if it’s…

Sweet, I didn’t know Eric was distributing ELI with the library! I just assumed it was an optional module stuck in an archive directory. Glad to hear! My WIP relies on it heavily, because I have a game-long sidekick that provides most of the atmosphere. One other class I’ve made/used heavily is very…

I’ll try to get eMacs set up in the next couple days and see what it can do!

Just to be clear, I functionally wrote the ELI extension, but Eric made some implementation tweaks and we collaborated to package it for adv3Lite… so it’s his extension too…

I just checked out the VSCode TADS 3 extension and just so you’re aware, tads3-mode is nowhere even remotely close. It could be, if given an equal amount of development time, but the VSCode extension uses a language server and so is going to be fundamentally, categorically better ununless I switch t…

Nice! Here’s a customization I make to inform7-mode, 'cause I figure one can’t afford not to see the syntactically-significant hard tab characters, the silent killers. (defface extra-whitespace-face '((t (:background "pale green"))) "Used for tabs and such.") (add-hook 'inform7-mode-hook …

Good one! I’ll integrate that, bc tabs vs spaces has gotten me too.

well, I hope that these improved modes enter the main EMACS branch (the GNU one, from where all *nix distros take the code and modes…) Best regards from Italy, dott. Piergiorgio.

I’ve archived my TADS-3-Mode-for-Emacs repository and bequeathed future development to @alexispurslane . I’ll try to contribute to her efforts, but the TADS 3 mode is in her very capable hands.
