Could you tell me a bit more about what language this is? Does it implement the format used by a specific (set of) spreadsheet software?

[robertleeplummerjr]

This language is the same used by Excel, Google Sheets, OpenOffice, LibreOffice, and jQuery.sheet.

[marijnh]

Use two spaces, not tabs, for indentation.

[robertleeplummerjr]

Done.

Is the word 'formula' a commonly used term for this language? If not, would it be okay to rename this mode to 'spreadsheet'?

[robertleeplummerjr]

Yes. I will take care of all of these requests. Thanks for being as
thorough as you are Marijn, you are an awesome developer.

Renamed to spreadsheet.

Thanks. Merged as 63e0eff, and tweaked a bit in eb8f15c.

You still had tabs and 4-space indentation all over the place, by the way.

The idea here was to find a number followed by letters or underscore, which is never acceptable. I don't believe changing this to \w+ would allow for that.

You've just matched all digits. If more word characters follow, that means the first of those is not a digit, and thus /\w+/ does detect the error case you are interested in.

You sir are "the man".
