?? Integrated development environment -> S/W development text editor ??

So, assuming looking for something that can take a language description plug-in and high light different parts of a programming language. aka google "programming language editor highlighter"

humor note: not all languages in the 9m x 5m poster are supported ( https://web.archive.org/web/20220913143129/https://hopl.info... )

Just a few ideas from google search:

* Commercial :

   ** jetbrains resharper ( jetbrains.com ) can be used stand alone or with various IDE's.

   ** visual code studio : https://code.visualstudio.com/api/language-extensions/syntax-highlight-guide

" Non-commerical":

   ** Pygments has various language sytax files which can be used in various ways (command line, ide plug-in, editor plug-in, etc) 

        on-line : https://pygments.org/demo/   command line: https://github.com/dedalozzo/pygmentize
   
   *** sublime text, atom, gnu nano, vim text editors also have syntax highter plug-ins/packages.

   ** https://extensions.libreoffice.org/en/extensions/show/code-highlighter

   ** https://highlightjs.org/

resharper link : https://www.jetbrains.com/resharper/features/coding_assistan...

"visual block coding" hightlight style:

    https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=leodevbro.blockman

treesitter / neovim:

different code block indicators styles : https://github.com/lukas-reineke/indent-blankline.nvim#with-...

collapse / expand / navigate between code blocks : https://github.com/stevearc/aerial.nvim

not exactly colorize, but can customize to just show iteration / loop processes : https://github.com/ziontee113/syntax-tree-surfer

combobulate (alpha quality as of 10/22): source code outline/cliff notes. from github README.rst "Emacs package that provides a standardized framework for manipulating and navigating your source code using tree sitter's concrete syntax tree " -> https://github.com/mickeynp/combobulate

https://www.spacemacs.org/ with https://github.com/emacs-tree-sitter/elisp-tree-sitter then write a iterator/loop query for language(s) editing per https://tree-sitter.github.io/tree-sitter/syntax-highlightin...

tad less installation heavy (sorta) but also makes use of tree-sitter syntax queries : https://www.lunarvim.org (neovim with treesitter syntax)

blockman usage examples: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5539gDeAdWqeXcczWuhnBA

Alternative examples / takes (per user interface):

### embedding a block of source code in a document:

  ** carrotsearch.gethub.io/apidocs/code-blocks

  ** https://ckeditor.com/docs/ckeditor5/latest/features/code-blocks.html

### 'colorize blocking' (vs space endenting) :

  ** example code reference coloring: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0EF0VTs9Dc&list=PLtvX0WpNqnvMQbLB9j4TKbqHMmoLaoOOr

### gui block programming :

  ** https://mblock.makeblock.com/en-us/   

  ** https://developers.google.com/blockly

What's the ast node(s) for a given source code statement/block look like? https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/playground
