Re: Clojure parenthesis matching broken in 5.4

Dale – thanks for the help.

Moving the block in question didn’t fix the highlighting for me, despite completely exiting jEdit and shutting down the server. Instead, I commented that block out of the mode file, at which point the parenthesis matching began working as expected again.

I would not describe myself as a “Clojure expert” but I’ll take a look at the mode file.

Thanks,
Bob

Subject: Re: [ jEdit-users ] Clojure parenthesis matching broken in 5.4

It looks like this problem was caused by a change in the clojure mode file that was made quite a while ago. I don't know clojure at all, but if I change the mode file to move lines 41 through 44 to just after line 797, the parenthesis works correctly. You can find the mode file by going to Utilities - jEdit Home Directory - Modes, this should open the jEdit file browser to the directory containing the mode files. Find clojure.xml, open it, and cut lines 41 - 44, they look like this:

        <SPAN TYPE="KEYWORD4" DELEGATE="MAIN">
            <BEGIN>*</BEGIN>
            <END>*</END>
        </SPAN>

then paste them at line 798, just following this line:

<KEYWORD4>*state*</KEYWORD4>

jEdit should pick up the change right away, but if not, you can go to Utilities - Troubleshooting - Reload Edit Modes to have jEdit pick up the change.

It would be nice if someone who knows clojure well could verify that this is an appropriate fix.

I notice that in 5.4 the parenthesis matching for Clojure seems to have become broken. I believe it worked fine in 5.1, which I was using until recently. In particular, if the “*” function (multiplication) is invoked in a manner similar to

                (* 1 2 3)

the closing right-paren at the end of the form won’t be matched to the opening left-paren before the “*”. If the * is replaced with anything else the parenthesis matching again works correctly, so this seems to be something specifically related to how “*” is handled. If a second “*” is added the matching will again work properly. Not having parenthesis matching working properly is a royal pain for programming in any Lisp variant so a fix would be very helpful.

Not sure where to look to fix this. Any ideas or hints appreciated.

Thanks,
Bob
