Forum Index : Microcontroller and PC projects : V5.2 syntax files for MMEdit

The attached ZIP has two syntax files for MMEdit. Unzip and place the two files in your MMEdit data folder. The data folder location can be found for Help/About. Restart MMEdit and you should have the two new files (micromite and Micromite_plus) in the list when you 'change syntax' I have added a lot of the missing words as well as the new ones. I am sure that some have been missed. Many of the keywords are still OK to use as a variable. YELLOW only has significance in the RGB() function so you could have a variable named YELLOW for general use, but I don't advise it. If you did this, the variable report will get confused but no electrons will be harmed. 2016-07-09_051133_52_syntax_data.zip Jim VK7JH MMedit |

If you are running V3.3.6 of MMEdit or earlier, please update your MMEdit.tkn file (in the program folder) with the one in this ZIP. The KEYWORD list is getting too big. 2016-07-09_081519_MMedit.zip There are a few other changes that I am partway through implementing but you shouldn't notice anything different yet.

Thank you for the sintax files (I sent you some beer money). It seems to be that is missing GUI SHOW. I have two questions : 1) is it possible to print the listing with sintax coloring as in the screen ? 2) is it possible to insert page breaks to separate in printing blocks of program ? Thank you.

It would be very great if you print in color and upper and lowercase properly. View just like on the screen. Thank you !!  |

Tassy Jim thanks for the update. What is the status of the LINIX version of MMEdit? I am about to move my model railroad control to a RaspberryPi (Raspian) and would love to be able to edit and download my MicroMite signal and sensor modules from there. Bert Holmes (Towers of Hanoi) |

@Cremo GUI SHOW is in the micromite Plus manual but not in the micromite manual so it is only in the plus syntax file. Syntax colouring is not possible with the current version on MMEdit and don't expect it any time soon, For fancy printing, I suggest copying into another text editor such as notepad++ @PicFan If you select Program/Save Keyword case, your code will save the case of keywords and allow you to print with your chosen setting. Sorry, no colour. @hwholmes No news about a Linux version and even when/if it does appear, it will be for x86 systems, not RPi. I think you can get Putty for RPi. My method is to run ser2net on the Pi and use MMEdit across the network from the comfort of a Windows box. The MMEdit test server is doing that. Jim VK7JH MMedit |

Thank you TassyJim, now I have a correct working sintax file (I had problems with my installation). It is a pity that the sintax coloring is not available for printing. Best regards. Pietro |

I have been playing with an option to post coloured code segments to TBS. With a few changes to the forum code by Gizmo, it seems to be working. I still need to do some testing to make sure that random character sequences don't do strange things but I am pleased with the results so far. You should be able to copy and paste the code into an editor without any odd things happening. As a sideline, I am also adding code to save you program code as RTF which will then open your default RTF viewer. You can then print as many colour pages as you like. I still have a lot of testing to do. MS Word sets the margins as requested but Wordpad doesn't. I expect to have the same problems with page headers etc. RTF is an ancient format and most word processors are happy to read it. Jim VK7JH MMedit |

Really cool Jim. I was looking at the source when I quoted it. Another thing that would be great is if tht spaces weren't all stripped out. IE if (Quote) worked like (Code). The you could add bold & italic to code... That then again, your example is showing just that; seems my mind is stuck in neutral. Phil |

quote sections now allow multiple spaces. quote is still different to code which is the safest way to post code. I have had to do a few passing tricks to prevent accidental formatting in posted code. I had to use quote instead of code to get around the restrictions in 'code' I will have to see if I have captured all the combinations that cause grief. It is also possible that different browsers do things differently. Jim VK7JH MMedit |

Use Courier New font for code and to preserve spaces. Courier New is a monospace font, so all the characters have a equal spacing. The other fonts have variable width characters, ie i and l are not as wide as m and w. By default, html pages ignore multiple spaces, they are bunched together into one space. This is normal, but the web page can be forced to space out every space with a little html style trickery. This is what I did to the Courier New font, making it suitable for displaying code. Checked it with IE, Chrome and Firefox, but I'll bet there are browsers that wont play ball. Glenn The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago, the second best time is right now. JAQ |
