XAML support?

[Robert P]

Hi guys and gals,

Is it possible to include XAML in the Languages list?

That would be awesome! :3

Thank you!

@Robert-P

looks like the underlying scintilla control doesn’t have a dedicated xaml lexer
but question is does it have to?
Ignore my ignorance but is xaml not just xml?
If it is, why do you want to have a different lexer, any special reason for it?
Or do you want to have the xaml extension assigned to the xml lexer,which btw.
is already assigned to it in the default theme.

Cheers
Claudia

It looks like you may be right. XAML is essentially XML, but for Microsoft Suite.

For clarification purposes, is it possible to change the Language menu option to:

Language

• …
• T >
  –…
• V >
  –…
• X >
  –XAML
  —XML

or

Language

• …
• T >
  –…
• V >
  –…
• X >
  –XAML / XML

@Robert-P

is it possible to change the Language menu option

not that I’m aware of. Afaik this is hard coded.

I understand the Language menu may be hard coded, but would it be possible to change the code in there?

@Robert-P

in general yes, but I think you have a better chance to get this done,
if you open an enhancement request here.

Posted. Thanks! :)

I didn’t realize the enhancement was over at github.

Sorry about that :-\
