Stefan, I'm going to make you an offer, but first FYI:
I code for a living, I've got 6 kids, 10 brother and sisters, aged
parents and I belong to 2 churches. My R&D time is *very* limited.
Your name is all over the place when I google keywords related to this
topic, and I'm sure that you are an authority on this topic.
So here's the offer: I'd *like* to create a derived-mode for the
newlisp language, which is a lisp variant. I want it to be
cross-compatible to Xemacs (which doesn't support
font-lock-add-keywords).
Give me a hand (via this newsgroup) and I will give you full credit for
the results.
I don't care about the credit. I just want to make it work.
If you agree, and should you also think that this subject should expand
to a tutorial, howto or wike component I will do the grunt work,
documentation, whatever.
I moved from vim to emacs a little over a year ago, I have found
customizing for programming modes far more difficult than in vim and
from my research in newsgroups and googling, I believe that I'm not the
only one.
We could contribute significantly to the literature, methinks.
Thanks
tim
