[Mono-dev] Using Mono.CSharp in a syntax highlighting engine

[David Mitchell]

A couple weeks ago, I started playing around with Mono.CSharp to see if I could get enough information from it to hook it up to a syntax highlighter. In order to do so, I would need to be able to get a mapping of ranges of characters to lexical values (keyword, type name, etc.). After some poking around, I was finally able to get a very limited amount of information (mostly with respect to the namespaces found in a file), but not nearly enough to do what I want.

Was this an anticipated use of Mono.CSharp? Does anyone have any pointers for how to use it in this manner?

Thanks,
— Dave
