Pollen Mode

An Emacs mode for writing files in the Pollen Markup language. For now, it only provides simple syntax highlighting via font-lock. Feel free to add more features and submit a pull request.

The code is based on Xah Lee's Emacs Major Mode tutorial and the Scribble Emacs mode.

Installation

Download pollen-mode to your emacs lisp directory.

    git clone https://github.com/basus/pollen-mode.git ~/.emacs.d/lisp/pollen-mode

Then add the following to ~/.emacs.d/init.el:

	(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "lisp/pollen-mode" user-emacs-directory))
    (autoload 'pollen-mode "pollen" "A major mode for the pollen preprocessor." t)

Restart emacs. pollen-mode should activate when you open a file with a .pp extension.

Syntax highlighting

Currently the mode provides the following syntax highlighting using Emacs' predefined font-lock faces:

• Tag names beginning with ◊ (lozenge) are highlighted as function names.
• Attribute keys starting with a single quote or backtick are highlighted as constants.
• Quote-delimited strings in attributes (or in the Racket-mode argument to tags) are highlighted as strings.
• The #lang language line is highlighted as a preprocessor directive.
