Creating Custom Language Support with Grammar Kit

创建于 2013年09月01日 13:31

Where can i find more informations to the grammar kit https://github.com/JetBrains/Grammar-Kit ?

I've followed http://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/IDEADEV/Developing+Custom+Language+Plugins+for+IntelliJ+IDEA and was able to register the filetype but what now?
I've installed the necessary plugins but what's the deal with the bnf file? Where can i find more informations about this?

I'm interessted in including support for some strange template languages which are based on html (e.g. http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/main/styleref_templates_syntax )

thx

that's the tutorial, which i've tried to follow, and it worked till http://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/IntelliJIDEA/Grammar+and+Parser
And from here i have now problems to follow the tutorial since the "Define grammar" step, because it's the first time i've heared from "bnf" and i have no idea where to start.. That's why i hoped that somebody here have probably some useful links..

At least i've found this "good explanation" http://www.antlr.org/wiki/display/ANTLR3/Quick+Starter+on+Parser+Grammars+-+No+Past+Experience+Required but it's still "too much" from me as beginner, who just started with plugin development and java just some days ago

Just to describe it better


<h1>some text</h1>

<vb:if condition="{$foo} == 4">
output
</vb:if>

{vb:function fooo,var,var}

{vb:include template="templatetitle" }

that's how the templates look like and i'd like to get an code highlighter and LATER also to provide support for the functions.

e.g. vb:include template => if i click on templatetitle, it should open the template in the editor

Hi there,

If the concepts of lexing/parsing etc are new to you; There is a great university level course on this offered by Coursera available here https://www.coursera.org/course/compilers

Be sure to check that out :)
