ASML - Need some ideas
|
Hey all! I am making a new programming markup language, along with some others... (names will be withheld). This seems to be the current trend, however, I have been in the planning stages for months. And now I am out of ideas.
Here is a sample syntax for a page:
Code:
\\Description {{Page Description}}
#title(Test Page);
#backcolor(Blue);
//
\\Page {{Actual code for the page}}
[text !font(Arial), !size(2), !color(blue),]
This makes blue text.
[/text]
//
Any ideas, comments, or suggestions on the syntax or anything else?
~MikeJ
P.S.
Does anyone know what language the interpreter for HTML was originally written in?
P.P.S.
In case you were wondering, ASML stands for Alternate Scripting Markup Language. |

Uh... it's a markup language, which has to be interpreted by a browser. |

Actually its not. I've been developing it for months... And I've got it to work. I just need some final input to see if everyone likes the design. It converts to HTML, and I'm trying to see if I can do it. Y'all can laugh if you want, but when its popular...

Go for it maybe you could get the sourge for the lynx of onother open source browser to see hoe stuff is done. All though if you are serious Please create a good code tag so that it will be easier to display code.
useg <html> to display html code sucks. Will yours be server side or client side?

If your making a markup language you should make it XML compliant. And develop a XSD Schema to ensure your syntax is well-defined and verifiable.

Its an open standard ( www.w3c.org) that is a way to define the structure of an XML document. If you have an XSD schema there are automated tools/API's you can use to quickly and easily verify if an XML document conforms to that schema.
If you are developing your own markup language you should develop a schema that defines the structure and data in your markup language. |

Out of curiosity (i like new kinda things, if everyone has noticed already), hows the language run? Is it run through an apache-type interpreter that you have made?
Sounds cool. Good luck!

Well, this sounds kinda dumb, but I am converting it to HTML as of the present time. I'm trying to find a way to make my own web browser control, so I can add the syntax, etc. But until that time, well, it's just gonna be converted.
