mad-x_syntax

MAD-X syntax highlighting for emacs.

The main file is called 'madx.el' and is found in the 'emacs' folder. Download it, open it in emacs and type the expression

 M+X package-install-file RET madx.el RET

[where M+X means to to press the META key (i.e. ALT for most systems) and the x key at the same time, and RET means to press the RETURN key]. Otherwise, check the file header for installation instructions.

FEATURES (v 2.0)

• Edited to be compatible with emacs ELPA repository
• Highlights commands, parameters and special operators in MAD-X 5
• If the file extension is '.madx' or '.seq' then the buffer is automatically highlighted, but any buffer can be highlighted by doing :
  M+X madx-mode
  where M is the META character in Emacs (M seems to be ALT in Linux)
• If the limit of 80 characters is desired, they could be highlighted differently by uncomment the line in this (`madx.el') file.

(require 'whitespace)
(setq whitespace-line-column 80) ;; limit line length
(setq whitespace-style '(face lines-tail))
(add-hook 'madx-mode-hook 'whitespace-mode)

TODO

I think a semicolon detection at the end of the line might be useful in madx. Maybe autocompletion??
