I found that the language file for the octave language is a bit poor so I
decided to make some improvements. I'm attaching the new octave.lang file.
I got some input from one of the octave developers and original developer of
octave.lang file when doing it ( http://tinyurl.com/ygr8yj3 ) and testing from
some ubuntu users ( http://tinyurl.com/yzdks6l ).
I've also sent it to the gtksourceview developers (filed a bug report in
bugzilla https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=613378) but they have
keep silent for some months now. Hopefully you'll get it upstream or at least
for the debian community.
Here's the list of changes I made
* comments and continuation line
* ... is now identified as a continuation line character
* comments after the continuation line character do not disrupt it
* continuation lines characters are ignored if they are between
single quotes
* shebang line
* now it's defined by the default configuration as being such instead
of just another comment
* block comments
* added #{ and #} to the list of possibilities for block comments
* highlights correctly when block comments are nested
* operators
* now are highlighted (not only simple arithmetic operators, this
includes element by element, transpose operator, autoincrement, assignment and
logical operators)
* functions
* added a bunch of functions (got some input for one of the octave
developers to avoid problems picking functions that may be removed from octave
to avoid problems in the future)
* just to make it look pretty I mixed some very similar functions
into one such as "(a)?sin(d|h)?"
* removed 'ans' from the list of functions and highlighted it as a
variable
* metadata
* changed default for line comment from % back to #
* pkg as preprocessor
* if pkg is not called 'like a function' (i.e. pkg ("load",..)) it's
highlighted as preprocessor (in similarity to the 'use' function in Perl)
* constants/functions
* functions such as Inf, pi, NaN which can be called with no
arguments to return a constant value, are highlighted as constants in those
situations but still as functions if followed by opening parenthesis
* data types
* the function handle character '@' is now highlighted
* true/false as functions
* are highlighted as boolean unless followed by opening parenthesis,
in which case are highlighted as functions
* keywords
* added the keywords, persistent, replot, static, varargin, varargout
* removed the keywords assert, nargin, nargout and moved them to be
highlighted as functions
* strings
* added a printf regexp that should identify its formatting (copied
it from the C.lang file)
* added an escape regexp that should escape only some stuff, not
whatever is right after an \ (also copied it from the C.lang file)
