Get rid of hacks for detecting languages that use a CM mode configuration #7345

Open njx opened 10 years ago

njx commented 10 years ago

Currently, we have hacks in various places to deal with the fact that we can't easily map back from a CM mode configuration (e.g. CSS mode configured for LESS, or XML mode configured for HTML) to an actual language. We should work with Marijn to figure out a way for CM to expose to us what the actual specific MIME type is for a given location, as opposed to just giving us the main mode plus a configuration bag.

Examples of the hacks we have today:

code at the end of LanguageManager to deal with XML/HTML mode and clike/PHP mode
code in the LESS language registration to deal with CSS/LESS mode (added in #7346)
code in TokenUtils.getModeAt() to handle XML mode specially
