I write web project on c++. In my c++ code has to insert html, for example such
void CPage::putBaseFooter() {
if(m_canRender) {
HTML(
<!++
</main>
<footer>
<f++ composePageFooter(); ++f>
</footer>
</body>
</html>
++!>);
}
}
That is the whole html code is between <!++
and ++!>
(Code is processed before compiling its own preprocessor to string)
Just have your own macros preprocessor, such as for example
<f++ composeHead(); ++f>
<v++ ts.tm_year + 1900++v>
<paged_list++ [day_tasks_control] [/tasks/list] [taskListRenderer]>
...
<++paged_list>
<labeled_control++ [Description] [taskDescription]>
<textarea></textarea>
<++labeled_control>
Tell me please, how i can highlite html keywords and own macroses into qt-creator code editor? I tried to write a higlite-xml for Kate (with inheritance c++ highlite), but probably something I do not understand, since the backlight does not work.
Here are my sketches syntax highlighting

The Kate C++ highlighting is not used in Qt Creator, changing/extending the Kate configuration file won't have anny affect. You could try to register a separate mime type that's not recognized as C or C++ by Qt Creator and write a Kate highlighter for that, but I don't know whether this would work.
