gEdit Language Reference Plugin Update

Sunday, 26. July 2009, 18:52:57

gedit, plugins, docbook, syntax ...

After GnoCHM makes no real progress in development CHMsee is a really good alternative to read Windows CHM-Helpfiles. The newest version 1.0.6 of CHMsee now shiped with the long missed index feature (for Ubuntu Jaunty a newer version of libgcrypt11 is required).
This le me think about my gEdit Language Reference Plugin again. So i added support for various CHM viewer like GnoCHM, CHMsee, XCHM or KCHMviewer. To support the project i created a complete german translation for CHMsee too that may ship with 1.0.7 one day

Moonshiner

postscript, ghostscript, pdf, ps

Ghostscript offers a powerfull PostScript-to-PDF converter. But it is quite challenging to use its parameters on the command line. Moonshiner is a graphical frontend (GUI) for it that is very simliar to Adobe Distiller. At the moment version 1.0 is in beta state while 1.1 is available at the SVN.
Scott Nesbitt wrote a post how to get it running on Ubuntu Linux.

gEdit Language Reference plugin

Saturday, 10. November 2007, 00:13:42

gedit, external, syntax, language reference ...

On my way bringing SweeTS - delicious TypoScript development to Linux, i wrote an plugin for opening an external language reference for the language you are editing in gEdit. The additional "gedit-plugins" package must be installed first. The plugin is localized in german and english.

How it works:
* The external language reference can be an PDF, a DocBook XML, a CHM Windows helpfile, a PostScript file or a HTML page
* Copy the files of the gedit_reference_plugin.zip into "~/.gnome2/gedit/plugins"
* Create a folder "help" in "~/.gnome2/gedit/"
* Copy your language references to "~/.gnome2/gedit/help"
* Set the filename of your reference document as the programming language name (you can get the name easily from "View > Highlight Mode"). An example: if you have a CHM documentation "python25.chm" then rename it into "Python.chm"
* Start gEdit and enable the plugin "Language Reference" in the preferences
* After a restart the plugin appears in the help menu
* Assign the shortcut "Alt+F1" to it
* Yelp (Docbook XML), CHMsee-GnoChm-XCHM-KCHMviewer (Windows comiled Help CHM), Firefox (HTML) or Evince (PDF, PS) are required
* Error dialogs based on Zenity

So now you have an easy access to your programming guides and preferences

If you are using Ubuntu you can grap a up-to-date version of GnoCHM at GetDeb.net.
