Is this project alive? and underlining wikitext code makes it unreadable

[pmario]

Hi @joshuafontany,
Do you still update this project? -- Do you accept PRs?

With TW v5.3.x we do have a lot of new syntax. Do you plan to implement it?

There is also one thing, that really is annoying for me personally. In TW wikitext if I define local variables with a double-underscore prefix, like this __localVar it starts to underline the whole code. Which in turn makes the code unreadable. Could the "underline" handling be disabled somehowm

Hi @pmario. Could you provide a full snippet of wikitext? This would be inside a macro definition right?

[pmario]

I think the underscore syntax highlighting should be removed. It does not make sense anyway. Underlining text makes it much harder to read.

Hi @pmario. Could you provide a full snippet of wikitext?

Open any tiddler source code and start to write __var. You'll see, that the rest of the code will be underlined, which makes the editor "jumpy" and the code extremely hard to read.

As I wrote. From my point of view the whole "underline" formatting should be completely removed. It's only a burden.

I would like to get a better understanding of the visual-noise you are getting. The underlining function here is the same one that handles http/https links, so we should be able to scope it down to not trigger when in "variable name" contexts.

Have a closer look at: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/blob/9cace159ab47e5c29fc7f1f6f44851edd5d7b07f/core/wiki/macros/toc.tid#L264

I initially wanted to create local variables, functions or procedures like so __hasItemTemplate() for better readability. So if there is only 1 such variable, that whole code will be underlined

Cool. The current syntax scopes all the names in:

\function __testFunction() [<itemTemplate>!is[blank]then[text]]
\procedure __test(animal, __plant)
<% if [<animal>match[Elephant]] %>
  It is an elephant
<% else %>
  <% if [<animal>match[Giraffe]] %>
    It is a giraffe
  <% else %>
    It is completely unknown
  <% endif %>
<% endif %>

<<__test__>>
\end

as:

entity.name.variable.${procedure|function}.tiddlywiki5
meta.directive.variable.procedure.tiddlywiki5
text.html.tiddlywiki5

And does not underline that. I can only trigger an unterminated underline if I open it __xyz in a "string" or "base text.html.tiddlywiki" context. If you manage to reproduce this with your own code, please give an example/test-case.
