As the Google Summer of Code 2011 is coming to an end tomorrow (22.08.2011, see the timeline), I’d like to summarize the last three months of my adventure with GSoC. I won’t come into much details of my project as I recently prepared a few posts that come into all the bits and pieces (Installing [...]

For this week I planned to work on the multi-mode syntax highlighting feature I started previously. I changed the htmlGrammar.js to make it use (include) phpGrammar.js for anything that is inside PHP tags.

This week I planned to do some prototype implementation of the Linked Mode feature for Orion. As you can see in the last report, I was worried about the need of modifying too much of the core Orion parts to actually add this feature. I thought I’ll need to modify the textView.js file. But then [...]
