If I'm going to print a story, I'll move it to my word processor. You can use properties like print. Luckily, the above technique works equally well for files that are going to be converted to HTML. See converting from text to HTML for a how-to example.
Since I'm now doing more document editing in SciTE, I wanted to find ways to do functions I might do in an ordinary word processor such as check line and word count, check spelling and grammar. I looked into what tools were available to integrate with editors and was rather disappointed. I've highlighted some of my favorite finds including a spell-checker on my writing tools page.
I'll discuss specifically how to use some of these applications in conjunction with SciTE below. I wanted to integrate a stand-alone spelling or grammar checker into SciTE using the command. I was hoping I could output an error list from the checker into a format similar to a compiler, so I could display errors in the output pane of SciTE and jump to the problems.
A couple of issues arose. Obstacle one, you can only specify a file and a line number for an error. SciTE only supports column and line specific errors through the Tidy error format which doesn't support file names well.
Also, you'd need to turn on the property error. So, file and line number correction without going to a specific column isn't the worst issue in the world. Obstacle two, I needed to find a spelling or grammar checker that could output into a format that I could reformat in the appropriate manner.
That's where I hit my problem. There are several old freeware spelling checkers and even some grammar checkers at various ftp sites. There's no source code and they mainly appear to be interactive.
Not too useful. I checked for popular Open Source options that would work with programs like Open Office and Abiword. Another dead end. Many of these programs were written for Java or. So, unable to find any programs that did exactly what I wanted, I searched for some other options and finally found some. To integrate an outside program such as my Perl spell-checker script or hunspell, you can add it to SciTE's Tools menu as Build and Go commands with lines such as any of the following:.
There are several good file comparison utilities out there. Ordinarily, I'd use them standalone. I found it difficult to make use of a file comparison utility within SciTE since I pretty much ended up specifying the file I was currently looking at, but I had no good way to specify the file I wanted to compare it to.
Quite by accident, I ran across an option to pass a parameter to a program or script. If you choose View from the menu and then choose the Parameters option, you can specify other information that can be used when a command is executed.
One of my favorite comparison programs, diffh, is actually a utility that works with the diff program and creates an html output of the differences. It can be difficult to launch because you need to call several programs and pipe output from one to another via the command line.
I figured SciTE might have a useful way of hiding some of that complexity when I want to run this utility. There's more information on diffh and setting up a script file to call it on my writing tools page. Once you have a script to run the appropriate commands, you can add it to SciTEUser. Note the asterisk in front of the batch file path and name. This tells SciTE to bring up the Parameters dialog so a user can enter the second file name to use in the comparison.
It's not quite as convenient as a dialog box for opening files with directory and path information. However, if you can copy the file name and path from your file manager or type it in by hand , you'll be able to tell SciTE the name of the second file you wish to compare to the currently open file. You can use this trick with other scripts as well. Place an asterisk after the equals and before the program or script to execute in any command setting to call up the Parameters dialog.
If you want the values of other parameters in the dialog, you can change the 1 to 2, 3 or 4 accordingly. To make it easier to get the name of the second file, I can ask SciTE to do it for me. Adding the following to the SciTEUser. So, if you have both files you want to compare open in SciTE, go to the second file, press Ctrl-3 and then copy the file path and name of the file shown displayed in the output pane to the clipboard.
Go to the first file, press Ctrl-1, and paste the file path and name from the clipboard to the first entry in the Parameters dialog. Click the Execute button and you should see the differences between the files appear unless there are no differences between the two files. I've set xml. If this is annoying, you can turn it off. You can also specifically name a browser including full path and file name in front of the name of the web file to call the browser with that web file name.
I've created my own custom html. If anyone's interested in seeing the entire file, let me know and I can upload it. The html. Here's how I added my html. Once you have an api file, you can customize calltips and symbol completion. Here's what I did for my html. I've set the autocomplete function to try to offer the Complete Symbol suggestion based on commands in the api file after a user types the less than symbol or a less than followed by a slash.
I've set the calltip function to have Show Calltip activate after the question mark or equals sign is typed. I've told it that calltip parameter entries are separated by a space or double quote. The calltip ends at the greater than sign. This tries to simulate what a html tag looks like. It's started with a less than sign. For a closing tag only, a slash may appear next. I've treated the attributes as parameter lists.
I've ended with a greater than sign. In the api file, any information after an exclamation mark is treated as a definition instead of part of the actual command. A calltip appears when you type a question mark or equals sign after an attribute. The equals is part of the actual HTML syntax. The question mark is a shortcut to ask for help.
If you're interested in reusing your HTML information, there's an interesting technique for doing so using makefiles. It works just fine with SciTE or any other editor. It's a nice alternative to server side includes which can take more processing time on the server. If you're interested in converting text to HTML , I've included some information on how I usually do so for my works of fiction.
My place of employment uses Adobe Contribute and Dreamweaver for web development. I prefer to work with SciTE. The commercial tools use a protocol for check-in and check-out of files so that multiple developers won't overwrite each others' changes. Unable to find a good version of an Open Source program to apply Dreamweaver style template updates to a file, I also wrote a short C program to do so.
I can now update web page files much faster than the Dreamweaver and Contribute users at work and don't have to worry about any of us over-writing each others' work. If there's interest, I can share some of my code and techniques.
With makefiles, I had to make sure tabs were treated as tabs instead of replaced by spaces. If you're interested in using makefiles with HTML for code reuse or in place of templates, check out the information on one way to do it in the mingw FAQ. You can also run your makefiles through the Go option on the Tools menu.
The instruction below, which can be added to SciTEUser. Otherwise, specify the location of the make program in the property setting. I did set some tab and indenting properties specifically for working with programming languages. See Customizing using Lua. You can add a function outline such as a typical version of main or a specific comment format such as a set format for documenting routines to the abbrev. You can use the output pane to display compiler errors and jump directly to the file and line by clicking on the error.
If you like working with a command line or shell as I do , you can invoke scite to view a file directly from the command line. In this article. Optional Boolean attribute. Specifies whether directory browsing is enabled true or disabled false on the Web server. The default value is false. Optional flags attribute.
The showFlags attribute can have one or more of the following possible values. If you specify more than one value, separate the values with a comma ,. The default values are Date , Time , Size , Extension. Value Description Date Includes the last modified date for a file or directory in a directory listing. Open spoiler to see my UDFs :. I'm running windows 7 in both 64 bit and I've been unable to save changes to the SciTEglobal.
On further reflection, this is a good thing;. So, I tried to save to the SciTEuser. This was the closest thread to the topic that I could find when searching.
