I’m looking to install an online text editor on my server, that I can link to svn.
I would like to have some form of syntax highlighting, keyboard shortcuts, and perhaps some text complete.
Languages, python, php, sql, and C++ are a minimum …
any suggestions?
I don’t know of any browser-based client-server editors like that, assuming I understand correctly what you are trying to do.
Two things come to mind:
Since it’s a long-solved problem
and generally fairly trivial task to
configure a
svnserverand there are plenty of
text editors / IDEs out there with
svnclient interfaces, why re-inventthe wheel?
If you must or really want to
and have gobs of time, go wild and
crazy perhaps by starting with a
simple existing Python-based editor
(Leo perhaps?) or roll you own
and/or existing syntax highlighting
packages, like Pygments, find a way to split it into a client-server
architecture with some AJAX glue between them, and
port the front-end client part to run under
Pyjamas, a framework for
running a subset of Python as
JavaScript, and to use a browser as the GUI. And let us know how it
turns out!
