Regarding ed.ex / edx.ex ...
I say abandon or deprecate the editor formerly known as ed.ex. I doubt that anyone else is using it besides me. The last version can be archived on the rds page.
Regarding Geany and EuGeany...
With EuGeany tried to add Euphoria support for the Geany editor, but it is evident that my ambitions have fallen far short of my abilities. I was thrilled when Irv Mullins rewrote "gneui.ex" and included it with his EuGTK package - it works like a charm. I may try to improve the EuHelp/EuGeany code, but it is unrealistic to expect me to write code on par with "real" programmers.
For EuHelp I wrote a little program that extracted keywords from the Euphoria html documentation files. Then, I added these keywords to ed.ex and Geany's syntax color support files and wrote a Geany Tag file. The tag file allowed Geany to autocomplete Euphoria keywords without having to load each specific library file into the editor. The EuHelp program simply passed the editors current "word" to a browser to display the matching help article for that particular keyword. My ragtag code worked pretty well for me, evidently not so well for others. I am sure a large number of programmers on this forum who could write a more robust utility program that accomplishes all this with much better form and functionality.
Good to see you back, David Cuny!
