I'm just getting started with Hugo, so I immediately distracted myself from learning it by writing a Hugo edit mode for my text editor of choice, jEdit.

Anybody else who uses jEdit can download the mode file from here: http://www.caboose.org.uk/dev/hugo/hugo.xml Installation instructions are in the comments at the top of the XML file.

One problem I encountered while writing the edit mode was that there doesn't seem to be a comprehensive list of keywords in the Hugo Book. For example, 'global' doesn't appear in Appendix A's summary of keywords and commands. Have I overlooked some documentation somewhere or should I check the source for a definitive list?

Nigeria, huh? I've got a few business dealings going on there. Tell me, do you know a "DR CLEMENT OKON"?

I'm afraid I don't know him, but then I've only just moved over here.

Hmm. How about Sir Sambujang Jammeh, or the barrister Momoh Sanni Momoh?

I really need to get in touch with these guys.

I don't think so. I think that's the one Pinback pulled from when he made a similar file for EditPlus2.

Though Kent usually pops in before too long, so I'm sure we'll get the definitive answer shortly.

Hmm. The definitive list of tokens/keywords recognized by the compiler is in the Hugo Book starting on page 228 or so. Note that this includes some non-language tokens (specifically those with a '#' suffix), and doesn't include the keywords that are used to define various elements for the compiler, namely:

array
attribute
class
compound
constant
enumerate
event
global
object
property
punctuation
removal
replace
routine
synonym
verb
xverb

I think that's it--if you're feeling adventurous you can peek at hcpass.c in the Hugo source code to see what the Pass1() function looks at to start parsing source code.

(Yeah, at some point it would be good to consolidate this all in one place. The next edition of the Hugo Book.)

I've got a local copy of the Hugo source 'documented' by Doxygen. If it'd be useful to anyone, let me know and I'll put it online.

That sounds interesting. Does it do a good job?

That is probably something I should note in my documentation as well. I had written a "Keywords" section and I had included the very things you list here as being "elements for the compiler."

I should probably update that.

Thanks Kent, I've modified my keywords list to match and uploaded the new mode file.

Kent asked if it did a good job. I'm not the one to properly evaluate it. Someone who knows what they're looking at, let us know if it's any good! :)
