Subject: Template-like string escapes in a major mode
Date: Fri, 20 Oct 2023 21:05:39 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ac29d8c6-0480-4896-b142-338cf147f1f7@gmail.com> (raw)
Hello. I have a major mode that I've been slowly developing on and off.
One thing that's left to implement for me is template engine-like string
escapes. For example lets say we have a string "My name is [name]",
where name should be treated as if it was outside of the string. Note
that [] brackets can also appear normally like any C-inspired language,
so they're only special within the "" quotes.
The way I understood is that I can't just rely on the syntax classes
here and I have to write my own syntax-propertize-function. But this
also seems like a very typical problem that's been solved in many
existing major modes, so I somewhat expect someone to have the exact
syntax-propertize-function I'm looking for already developed and tested.
Any other pointers would be welcome too.
