Tk::TextHighlight 1.0.4

Tk::TextHighlight is a TextUndo widget with syntax highlighting capabilities.

SYNOPSIS

use Tk;
my $haveKateInstalled = 0;
eval "use Syntax::Highlight::Engine::Kate; $haveKateInstalled = 1; 1";

require Tk::TextHighlight;

my $m = new MainWindow;

my $e = $m->Scrolled("TextHighlight",
-syntax => "Perl",
-scrollbars => "se",
)->pack(-expand => 1, -fill => "both");

if ($haveKateInstalled) {
my ($sections, $kateExtensions) = $e->fetchKateInfo;
$e->addKate2ViewMenu($sections);
}
$m->configure(-menu => $e->menu);
$m->MainLoop;

Tk::TextHighlight inherits Tk::TextUndo and all its options and methods. Besides syntax highlighting, methods are provided for commenting and uncommenting as well as indenting and unindenting a selected area, matching pairs of braces, brackets and brackets and curlies and automatic indenting of new lines.

If you want your widget to be read-only, then require Tk::ROTextHighlight, which is based on Tk::ROText instead of Tk::TextUndo.

Syntax highlighting is done through a plugin approach. Adding languages is a matter of writing plugin modules. Theoretically this is not limited to programming languages. The plugin approach could also provide the possibility for grammar or spell checking in spoken languages.
