This package permits syntax coloring of Inform 7 source code in the Atom editor (and compatible syntax colorers).
This started as a fork of Robert Clarke's Inform grammar. It's turned into a total rewrite, however. I've renamed it to include the "7" (since Inform 6 is a different language) and added "7" to all the syntax classes.
This correctly colors:
- Strings with bracketed substitutions
- Nested comments
- Section header lines
- Inform 6 inclusions
- The documentation section at the end of an extension
I do not try to color all of Inform 6 syntax. (There's a standard algorithm for this, but it's not regexp-based and I never liked it anyhow.) I just color I6 strings, dict words, and comments within I6 inclusions.
Known bugs:
- I7 requires section headers to be set off by blank lines above and below. This grammar does not check that requirement.
