Syntax Highlighting for Maxima executable folds and plugin sessions

[Tilda]

I’ve gotten a type of “Maxima highlighting” to work by editing the TeXmacs source. […]

The below works for me, although note that the keywords are simply copied from Octave, so they won’t give a meaningful Maxima highlighting.

Thanks for your ongoing effort and investigation.

I’m interested in trying to apply your patches to the TeXmacs source files on my system yet do not quite know how to proceed. I run TeXmacs 2.1.2 (as of May 5 2022) on OS X 13.7/15.6, and I also have the source files for this build.

• can these patches be applied to these source files?

• if so, what would be the most efficient way? Using GNU patch?

• If I patch the files listed in your patch-file, is it sufficient to put them in a corresponding subdirectory in .TeXmacs/*/*/ or do the patches require a complete recompilation of TeXmacs?

Cheers
Tilda

It should be possible to apply the patch using patch -p1 to the files in TEXMACS_PATH, but not TEXMACS_HOME_PATH (.TeXmacs). Changes would be overridden in case of an update, though.

At the moment this patch doesn’t do anything sensible, I just copied to highlighting from Octave. I’m not a Maxima user, so I don’t know the syntax.
