weBuilder 2015 MulticolorHTML

[tomy300]

Hi

it's seem that I can change the dom color, like <form> there's an advanced option that allow more... but I don't understant they way it works.

i would like to change color of <form> but the tag in a form could be differant like <form id= or name= or class= could be differant color

can I change that in advanced option ????

if I look at MulticolorHTML.xs

// form
snormal <form shtmlFO thtmlform
snormal <input shtmlFO thtmlform
shtmlFO [^>^\"]* shtmlFO thtmlform
shtmlFO > snormal thtmlform
snormal </form> snormal thtmlform

if I add this it don't work?
snormal id= shtmlFO thtmlform
snormal name= shtmlFO thtmlform
snormal class= shtmlFO thtmlform


if I could change that I would upgrade to 2015 right away.


thanks

What exactly are you trying to achieve, change colors of class and id attributes? Everywhere or only in <form> tag? Same color or different? Or do you want form tags that contain class or id attributes to be colored differently than the ones that don't?

Hi

like I said the tag in a dom

like class, id , name , action etc.

just have a option to change them for a <form> or anyother dom element would be very cool, for for my point, the <form> is the most important.
but if I could change color for those tag and having the same color for every dom it would be nice.

for now I just can change the <form></form> and it's alright because I can find it fast in big html file... but having possibility to change the name tag color would be very nice.

I don't know if it's possible right now to change it in advanced option.... and if yes I would appreciate to know how to do this.

Let me get this completely clear - you want to change color of attributes, not tags, right? And not all attributes but only some of them like class, id, name etc?

yes exacly I don't know if it's possible with the current version.

It is, here's a sample attached for HTML files. I didn't use Multicolor sample as base for this but normal HTML highlighter script that can be exported via Options -> Prefrences -> Text Editor -> Colors -> Advanced Tools -> Custom Highlighter Scripts -> Save Original Script.

Here's what I added - a new token:

Code: Select all

Token=tspecialattrib

new rules:

Code: Select all

shtmltag 'class'                   shtmltag    tspecialattrib
shtmltag 'id'                   shtmltag    tspecialattrib
shtmltag 'name'                   shtmltag    tspecialattrib
shtmltag 'action'                   shtmltag    tspecialattrib

Remember that you need to restart the editor after changing the script.

Thanks it's work

but if I try to change the file MulticolorHTML.xs directly and add your code it don't work. I restart webuilder and no change.

also HTML Known Tag Name, it's for every tag could I add exception and overide the default Tag Name color ?

thanks

I don't know about MulticolorHTML.xs but remember that it's just a sample provided for learning the highlighter syntax, the token and state names might differ and it's very likely that you can't just copy but some modifications are required. If you're interested in writing your own highlighters, step 1 is learning the documentation very carefully: http://help.blumentals.net/webuilder/cu ... rs_doc.htm. If you're a good programmer, you'll get it, it's not *that* complicated.
