TRuleCollectionItem Class

Base class for rule objects.

TRuleCollectionItem = class(TSyntCollectionItem);

ecSyntAnal

This class contains properties that are common for all rules:

Style is common for all rules, but it acts differently for different objects:

For token rules - Style is applied to tokens.
For line separators (block rule with BlockType = btLineBreak) only Style.BgColor is used as color of the horizontal line.
For block rules that detects keywords - Style is applied to identifying token.
For text ranges - Style is applied to different parts of text accordingly to DynHighlight property of the rule.
For sub-lexer ranges - Style is applied to the range where nested lexer acts.

Properties that specify whether rule is active at current position of analysis:

AlwaysEnabled specifies whether rule is active in nested lexers.
Block specifies rule of parent text range to test.
StrictParent specifies whether Block specifies rule of immediate parent text range.
NotParent specifies whether parent text range condition must be inverted.
