Hi Hans,
according to the wiki, and the current code, the arguments to \installprettytype should be uppercased. E.g.:
\installprettytype [PHP] [PHP] because want uppercase
\startTEX \stopTEX
Well, those would be coming from the first argument of definetyping. AFAIU, neither argument to installprettytype is related to these commands.
sure but they are somewhat related (also with the color palets then)
\definetyping[PHP] [option=PHP]
indeed. as i don't like casing in filenames, and function names Agreed, me neither.
actually, the advice is that user definitions use uppercase
\definehead[MySection][section]
etc, just to avoid clashes with built in commands That makes sense for commands, which is not what I'm proposing to change. I would propose making it look like the following:
\installprettytype [php] [php] \definetyping [PHP] [option=php]
Here, the second "php" refers to "pret-php.lua", the first and last "php" refer to each other and to the "php" in newvisualizer("php").
The command defined is still \startPHP, but now the values that refer to other lowercase things (filename, pretty printer name) are lowercase consistently.
How's this?
in order to get that working and remain compatible, we'd also need to redefine \definepalet [TEXcolorpretty] [colorpretty] \definepalet [TEXgraypretty] [graypretty] (ans use some nasty trickery to let texcolorpretty and TEXcolorpretty both be valid) etc and as users themselves seldom see the low level definitions it's not worth the trouble Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
