shakespeare-mode.el

A major mode that provides syntax highlighting and indentation for editing Shakespearean templates (hamlet, lucius, julius).

Installation

You can install this package from the MELPA repository:

M-x package-install RET shakespeare-mode RET

Note: shakespeare-mode is also available via melpa-stable .

Alternatively, clone this repo and add the directory to your emacs load path by adding the following lines to your .emacs:

(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/this/clone")
(require 'shakespeare-mode)

And that’s it. Open up a hamlet, lucius, or julius file to make sure it worked.

Usage

After installation, you’ll have three major modes. .hamlet, .lucius, and .julius files should inherit their mode automatically.

shakespeare-hamlet-mode
shakespeare-julius-mode
shakespeare-lucius-mode

They each have mode-maps and hooks you use to add functions and key bindings to them individually.

Alternatively, a minor mode is also loaded with mode-maps and mode-hooks that runs in all shakespeare buffers. To use this, just hook into shakespeare-mode.

Features

Currently, shakespeare-mode supports basic syntax highlighting and indentation for hamlet, lucius, and julius. Cassius files are not yet supported.

Variable Interpolation

All of the modes support syntax highlighting for variable interpolation:

 #{...}
 @{...}
 ^{...}
@?{...}
 _{...}

Hamlet Mode

shakespeare-hamlet-mode has full support for most hamlet features (submit an issue if any are missing!):

• control flow statements ($if, $forall, $maybe, etc)
• shorthand class and id attributes (<p .some-class #some-id>)
• optional quotes around attribute values (<input type=text>)
• no need to explicitly tag div elements. (<.mydiv>)

Lucius Mode

shakespeare-lucius-mode supports a lot of the same things as shakespeare-hamlet-mode

• url and variable interpolation
• indentation for nested css blocks
• variable declaration
• lucius mixins

Julius Mode

shakespeare-julius-mode is the most basic of the modes, but supports Javascript syntax highlighting indentation and the variable interpolation mentioned above.

Todo (in order of priority)

• Support for setting option attributes with colons, as dicussed here.
• Support far Cassius (shakespeare-cassius-mode)
• Integration with html2hamlet for quick formatting of buffers and regions (eg, copy in html and quickly reformat to hamlet.)

Thanks

less-css-mode I was originally using less-css-mode for editing lucius files, so I used parts of this mode’s modified syntax-table to compose lucius’.

hamlet mode I was able to use parts of the regexp’s from this repo for syntax highlighting, and parts of the syntax-table. There’s been some reformatting and minor restructure but this was a big help.
