EControl Syntax Editor SDK
Lexer library
Lexer rules and options are implemented as published properties of TSyntAnalyzer component. Lexer is resource of this component.
There are two file extensions used to store lexer resources:
*.LCF Single lexer configuration (text delphi resource of TSyntAnalyzer).
*.LXL Lexer library (text delphi resource of TSyntaxManager).
All this files in "Delphi Form Resource" text format.
You may save/load lexer and library configuration, so it is possible to exchange resource of lexer configurations. Update of default lexer library you can find at download page.
