ansi C support

[poby]

Ive never found a C editor I liked but I love webuilder code editor. It would be awesome if it included support for ansi C (as opposed to C#) I'm talking about syntax highlighting, auto completion etc. Given theres only a few dozen commands in ansi C, I don't imagine it would be difficult to include this.

I'll add your suggestion for consideration, but frankly I don't see this happening. It is a web editor after all and we want to keep that focus.

Even as is, I use it for ansi C code development. It's convenient having one program for all languages. If it's too much to hope that ansi C could be included, is there a documented way of adding a language for highlighting/code completion by editing/creating config files? I haven't found it in the docs.

You can check out <webuilder folder>\data\parsers - that's how the parsers look. If you're brave enough to attempt writing one for .c, then I'll find a way to make some kind of tool for you to use for testing the parser. If you get it ready then we can include it with the editor, but I'm afraid you can't add it without recompiling currently.
