If you are between matching braces () these may be detected by using Crtl B on the keyboard, or Balance Delimiters on the Edit menu. The colour scheme means when you have correctly typed a known QtScript or Tw-Api object, function name, or property, it will change colour for you.Ĭorrectly named functions and objects will be coloured when typed accurately as in the loose example below, while punctuation, brackets, and operators, or unknown and user functions you make yourself, will all generally be black. I'll be using that colour scheme in these helps.įollow the instructions on this page syntax-patterns.txt if you want to add QtScript 'syntax-pattern' colourings to your Tw editor. This also gives a common point of reference for explaining Tw scripting concepts. TeXworks lets you add coloured highlighting for common scripting editing needs. E.g.-įile-open-filter: Script documents (*.js *.qs *.py *.lua *.mod *.php *.bat *.txt *.csv)įile-open-filter: Graphics (*.jpg *.png *.pdf) (See the following: texworks-config.txt syntax-patterns.txt Tab Key based auto-complete tag-patterns.txt set_syntax.js )īy altering the list of file types that Tw will filter in the File Open dialogue, common extensions for the Tw script plugins can be added.

Tag window for function, var, const, with - list display.

Paired delimiters for matching/balancing.

ui, if it has a name based on the script you are currently editing, see Script/Interface Naming for more information.Ĭustomisable features of TeXworks as a script editor include. One of the decided advantages of using Tw as its own script editor, is that with many script it is quite useful to be able to execute them using their shortcut keys from within the script editor itself (see as an example.)Īnother advantage of using Tw to edit scripts, is that when making user interfaces using Qt Creator, you can make a Tw script to get the Qt Creator interface to load the correct. You may find another editor more suited to your on-going scripting needs, but initially TeXworks is a surprisingly good place to start. TeXworks is not designed for editing scripts as such, but has design features that may help people new to scripting, who are not used to using any other IDE (Interactive Development Environment) for scripting already.

I'd be grateful for any insight and would be happy to provide any additional information you might need.( All of this section is a work in progress !) Some additional debugging suggests that the text is properly split into QTextBlocks, but that those are not (all) laid out properly into QTextLines.

the cursor disappears when moving to hidden lines with the arrow keys (the real app, TeXworks, crashes, presumably due to the 'highlight current line' feature which uses the code from ).which lines are missing depends on the highlighting definition (changing '.*$' to '.+$' made lines 137-143 disappear with Qt 4.7.2).

However, when I click File > Save As and save it as a pdf and then try and open it in Chrome, it says 'Failed to load PDF document'.

When I open TeXworks (under pdfLaTeX) and hit the green run button, it opens a window and displays my pdf correctly. moving rehighlight() in front of show() apparently solves the problem as well (though this might not be possible in real-life if rehighlight is tied to signals and/or other parts of the code, e.g., for document parsing) I am trying to export my tex file to a PDF but it is not working.

this is independent of the window's initial size, but manual horizontal resize works around the problem.

I'm not sure if this is also system-dependent? So far, I've tested the following ones (the missing lines are for the attached minimal example): The exact manifestation of the problem seems to depend on the Qt version used. This problem was originally reported for the TeXworks project (, , ), but I've managed to distill a (minimal) example (see attachment). One has to resize the window horizontally (presumably to cause a relayout of the text) to show those lines. When I use a QSyntaxHighlighter-derived class and call highlighter.rehighlight() in the initialization phase of the program/window, several lines simply vanish in the initial display.
