Expose keywords of chosen "brush"

[jdittrich]

Is there any way to access the content of the chosen highlighting scheme aka the "brushes"?

I wrote an Autocomplete-Plugin for Etherpad and it would be great to access ep_syntaxhighlighting’s keyword list and the like to avoid code repetition and to play nicely with the ep_syntaxhighlighting.

That plugin would need to emit an event to hook into it. The usual etherpad way is to be really inefficient and process the same task twice!

Also a new hook would be welcome if that works!

Thanks for the info!

That plugin would need to emit an event to hook into it.

Does ep_autocomplete need the hook or ep_syntaxhighlighting?

I assume the best architecture would be having some kind of "backend" component which checks the text for changes and than triggers both the highlighting and the autocompletion – is that along the right lines? (Though I got the autocomplete working I’m not very much into the more advanced workings of Etherpads plugin API…)

Yea I'd expect the hook would go into Etherpad
