Need Help in "Define your language" section

Anand Mohan

Hi,

I’m Adding PL1/PLI language to Npp, in that i need to add the folding for proc statements

Example code will be like

abc; PROC;
statement 1;
statement 2;
statement 3;
end abc;

the statement 1,2 and 3 may contain “END;” as a statement, so i cannot use "END"as the end-of-fold

So i need a folding for

***; proc;
statement 1;
statement 2;
statement 3;
end; ***;

*** can be anything which is procedure name…

I don’t know PL1, but if it has any type of preprocessing ability like C does, you could do something like this:

#define procend end

and then use “procend” in your code. This is not ideal, I admit.

Otherwise, I think you have to define all the statement N’s you might use as the beginning of some fold (Open:) and add the corresponding number of “end” statements to end the fold (Close:). That is, you can have multiple Open:, Middle: and Close: tokens; just make sure they are in the correct order (first Close: goes with the first Open:, etc.).
