Peter, The messages I was sending you are a good example - I wasn't able to make colorizing work until I fiddled the heck out of things. Anyway, my general rule is that if there are questions, the documentation isn't clear enough. I didn't think about tweaking the page in Git. On Thu, Oct 22,

Re: [ANN] "language-livecode" 0.6.0 for Atom Editor

Hi Peter, The only confusion for me was the section on the linter and the installation of LC server. I've never installed LC server so don;t know where to start. I assume there are instructions somewhere so a link to wherever that is would be good. Pete lcSQL Software Home

Re: [ANN] "language-livecode" 0.6.0 for Atom Editor

Thanks Kay, that did the trick. There's still a couple of things Tom doesn't appear to do, both regarding indentation. The script editor ( and TextMate) automatically indent after if/repeat/switch statements, Atom doesn't. I know it has snippets that will insert a complete if block with indentat

Re: [ANN] "language-livecode" 0.6.0 for Atom Editor

I need a lot more info before I could start using this. I read the "instructions" for the linter plugin for livecode, but it makes no sense, and adding what they have there to the config file and putting the path to Livecode (I assume that is what they are looking for) throws an error in Atom.

Re: [ANN] "language-livecode" 0.6.0 for Atom Editor

The point isn't to use it for general purpose script editing. The point is to use it for LCB and LC Server scripts, and for libraries and other things that aren't all hooked into the IDE. Libraries are a good example, because if there are multiple people working on it, if the library is stored in

Re: [ANN] "language-livecode" 0.6.0 for Atom Editor

Hi Mike, There's already a plugin for that, the STS MLXEditor plugin. I'm using that and it works great. Right now, I'm liking TextMate better than Atom for editing stack scripts because it does the automatic indentation I mentioned, but maybe there's a way a setting in Atom to control that? Under
