Subject: Question about syntax coloring using an external program
Date: Sun, 15 Oct 2023 16:01:22 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CALZT+jB5Wg4+CfJpZ7u+xR-31Sk6pAGtRmSWUCgd5LzdZ+5PGw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I would like to invoke an external program to do syntax coloring and
formatting of the source inside an emacs buffer. I have created an elisp
solution using font-lock mode an regexes, but I would like a 100% correct
coloring solution. It suppose it could be implemented in pure elisp, but
for the moment I need to use an external program to do this. The external
program can annotate the source with tags that probably can be used by
emacs to color the source.
However I am at a loss how to actually implement such a round trip in emacs.
I would greatly appreciate any pointers to similar existing solutions or
hints on how to do it!
Many thanks!
//Fredrik
