Dylan CLM

Codeless Language Module for BBEdit.

Features

• Syntax coloring
• Function menu population
• Code folding
• Recognizes class, function, method, macro definitions
• Assigns Dylan language to files with ".dylan" extension

Installation

1. Clone this repo or download the Dylan.plist CLM file

2. Install CLM into BBEdit

   cp Dylan.plist "~/Library/Application\ Support/BBEdit/Language\ Modules"
   

3. Restart BBEdit

4. Check BBEdit's Language settings, verifying Dylan is listed and enabled.

Usage

1. For reliable code folding, the final end must echo the type declaration.

2. For example, use end method; instead of end;.

   define method generate-id (val :: <string>) => (id :: <integer>)
       // code...
   end method;

3. The CLM will recognize macro DSL's that follow a similar "define" form. Example:

   define token-handler header
       // code...
   end token-handler;
