"Eric M. Ludlam" <er...@si...> writes: Hi, Wouldnt it be easier and more general to hook into the "multiple modes mode", mmm or mumamo? These multi-modes know when the buffer is supposed to change mode. When this happens, the correct semantic parser could be called. Semantic doesnt necessarily have to understand the entire buffer, right? This way, each "combination" mode wont need to be made semantic aware. There are several such ones, besides the xml compliant ones. > Hi, > > For a CEDET/Semantic parser to work, it will need to handle the > entire buffer during a parse.
