Re: Lexer and syntax highlighter powered by LPeg

["Jose Luis Hidalgo" <joseluis.hidalgo@...>]

Hi Peter,

  This is amazing (both LPeg and your lua lexer), much kudos to you!
I would try to do the same for GLSL which actually I need. A place in
the wiki will be great, and hope others do lexers for other languages
( I'm sure there are many lua powered editors out there that will get
benefited from this ).

Cheers,
   Jose L.
