[Qt-interest] Generic highlighter

[NoRulez]

Maybe I do something wrong, but I’ve extracted the required sources.

Now to highlight a python source in a QPlainTextEdit I do:

 

    pHighlighter = new TextEditor::Internal::Highlighter(0);

    QSharedPointer<TextEditor::Internal::HighlightDefinition>
tmpDefinition(new TextEditor::Internal::HighlightDefinition);

    TextEditor::Internal::HighlightDefinitionHandler
highlightHandler(tmpDefinition);

    const QSharedPointer<TextEditor::Internal::HighlightDefinition>
&definition = highlightHandler.definition(QApplication::applicationDirPath()
+ "/python.xml");

    if (!definition.isNull())
        pHighlighter->setDefaultContext(definition->initialContext());
    m_ui->xmlContent->setHighlighter(pHighlighter);

 

The setHighlighter() function is implemented in a subclass of a
QPlainTextEdit as followed:

 

    if (m_pHighlighter)
        delete m_pHighlighter;
    m_pHighlighter = pHighlighter;
    m_pHighlighter->setParent(this);
    m_pHighlighter->setDocument(document());

 

But nothing is highlighted, what is wrong here?

I used the python.xml from here:
http://gitorious.org/kate/kate/trees/master/part/syntax/data

The “python.xml” is loaded successfully

 

Thanks in advance

 

Best Regards

Just randomly speaking... I do want to for this as a stand alone component.
Is anyone willing to help with this? I do see that there is demand for this
kind of component.

OK, fair enough. I only gave it a cursory glance.
