Irrelevant background: Now that bug 112888 is fixed, and I've installed
Debian wheezy on a system (with kde 4.8.4) and foresee upgrading to
Debian testing or jessie in the very near future (with kde 4.14.4, which
is greater than the version of kde 4.11.n for which the fix for bug
112888 is incorporated, I am back to working on the kate version of
my attempt at an askSam workalike.
But, I probably have to change some of my markup, and want to ask a
few questions:
* Back when I worked with kate highlighting before, there was no
good way to detect multiline markups. To be more specific, I'd like to
be able to distinguish between a ' at the beginning of a line versus a '
at the beginning of a line after a blank line--as a regex in some other
regex version, I'd use \n' versus \n\n', but I don't think I can do that in
katepart, can I? I mean, I've used regexs that start with a ^, but I
don't think two in a row ^^ will detect / confirm a blank line? (I could /
should try this, but I've worked through several other problems today,
and I want to be lazy.)
* In most of what I've done in the older kate versions, I've tried to
avoid RegExpr and use StringDetect instead, using "column=0" to
detect markup at the beginning of a line. I have two related
questions:
* Is there a way, using StringDetect, to detect that there is
nothing else on that same line--for example, a ' as the only thing on a
line? As a regex in kate I believe I could do ^'$
* Actually, following up on the last question, I want to treat ' as
proper markup in either of two cases, either it is the only thing on a
line, or it is at the start of a line followed by a space and then
anything else is allowed on the line. One way I could do that is with
two StringDetect lines, one detecting "'" at column 0, and one
detecting "' " at column 0--is there any better way?
Thanks!
