Parser

  • More granular matching of elements:
    • Match whole blockquote area separately from blockquote indicator
    • Match actual content separately from syntax characters (e.g. provide offsets for whole area, content and label for links like [This is a link][label])
  • Highlight footnote syntax
  • Use same type for offsets in greg-generated parser code and additional parser code (now they're int and unsigned long).
  • Highlight more HTML
    • Elements corresponding to Markdown elements
    • Other elements? (we have the HTML element type for that -- need more?)
  • Reduce memory usage (profile with valgrind, Instruments or somesuch)

Style parser

  • Add more style attribute types
    • (what else does Cocoa support?)
  • Document the stylesheet parser syntax
    • Need to first "stabilize" the syntax

Cocoa

  • Investigate using temporary attributes
    • In which way are they temporary? When are they removed?
  • When copying to clipboard, remove highlights if possible (make this an option?)
  • When an edit event comes to the highlighter, don't do the timer if there is a parser running at the moment, but act on the changes immediately
  • GUI widget for specifying highlighting styles
    • (needed? stylesheets are quite easy to modify)
  • Implement (stress) tests for modifying several NSTextViews simultaneously

Misc

  • .NET (C#) example of highlighting a RichTextBox
    • Need to create a wrapper assembly for the parser or something like that?
