Writing Lexer for STC in Python?

Hi,

I’m wondering if it’s possible to write a Lexer for the StyledTextControl (STC) in Python?

I fear that not, but if it would be possible, that would be rather cool :slight_smile:

Regards,

Yes it is possible you can write what is called a container lexer. There is some rough documentation about it and how to do it on scintilla.org.

Basically it goes as follows:

1) Set lexer to STC_LEX_CONTAINER
2) Bind handler to EVT_STC_STYLENEEDED
3) In handler do whats needed to style text
