Upstreaming TOML lexer #806

Closed techee closed 2 weeks ago

techee commented 2 weeks ago

It seems the TOML lexer exists only in the notepad4 repository and is not part of lexilla. Would it be possible to submit the lexer upstream so other editors can use it as well?

We have an open issue in Geany at https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/1268 but we only use official lexilla lexers.

Lexers marked as "part of Notepad4" are really written for Notepad4 instead of general use. Backporting is complicate as they use extremely customed lexlib (e.g. some methods in LexAccessor and StyleContext classes have different behaviors compared to Lexilla's).

OK, thanks for the clarification.
