Textpad TBL syntax definition file (for color-coding)
on: June 29, 2002, 06:26:56 am
For all those of you who use TextPad to edit .TBL's, I've made a syntax definition file. This is the thing that will let you see the tables with color-coding, making things easier.



If anyone's interested, lemme know and I'll post instructions on how to install it, although it does say how in the help documentation.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

So he did. :) $27 is a bit steep for a text editor though. I think I`ll stick to notepad and wordpad :)

I don't know about table editting, but it can't be too different from source code and script editting.

Syntax highlighting is absolutely brilliant, especially in cases where you have grammar/syntax errors in your code. A good example is a missing double-quote. Most syntax highlighting schemes set off literal text between quotes in a different color. If you miss a closing double-quote (or indeed, a semicolon or block closing atom, etc), it becomes immediately, visibly obvious.

Good point. I couldn't edit a table with any form of skill, but I can program/script. :)
