I have data files which are sexp's of the form:
(version-string
("tax name 1" various fields follow)
("tax name 2" ...)
...
)
I'd like to have a mode which derives from scheme-mode, but with the "tax
name" strings as entries in a buffer index (imenu or ecb). Here's my
attempt:
(defvar tax-imenu-generic-expression
'((nil "^\\s-+(\"\\(w+\\)\"" 1)))
(define-derived-mode tax-mode scheme-mode
"major mode for handling tax files"
(make-local-variable 'imenu-generic-expression)
(make-local-variable 'imenu-case-fold-search)
(setq imenu-generic-expression tax-imenu-generic-expression
imenu-case-fold-search nil))
(provide 'tax-mode)
This does the right thing with font-locking, but I can't get it to list the
tax names as a buffer index (seems like semantic is still using the
scheme-imenu-generic-expression). I'm very new to elisp, so I'm struggling
even in figuring out how to debug this. Any suggestions?
