cspell-grammar-syntax v0.1.5

cspell-grammar

tmLanguage Grammar parser for cSpell

An interpreter for grammar files as defined by TextMate with the purpose of spell checking. This is a pure JavaScript implementation of the interpreter. Due to the limitations of the JavaScript regex engine, it only supports a subset of the TextMate Language Grammar Definition.

Vscode-textmate provides more extensive support with the Oniguruma regex engine. Due to portability reasons, Cspell does not use vscode-textmate or Oniguruma.

The intent is to leverage a well defined grammar to help with the spell checking process.

The idea is to use the grammar to pull out important elements like:

• comments
• strings
• imports
• identifiers
• code blocks

That way it is possible to have strings in French, comments and variables in English while ignoring everything else.
