@RaiKoHoff
Thanks, so fast!

I sent the mail, but there is no answer yet.
Can't wait. :-) (Just a joke)

@RaiKoHoff
Perfect! Many thanks!

If I find error in parsing by Scintilla, then I'll do a PR.

[RaiKoHoff]

@data-man : Thank you for the link to your Repo.
@rizonesoft : @data-man Needs to be mentioned, at least in Release Notes for contribution.

@RaiKoHoff
Thanks!
I just renamed Nimrod to Nim. This language isn't called so for several years.

@data-man @RaiKoHoff Is the compatibility Okay? You need always modify LexNim.cxx when Scintilla updated LexNimrod.cxx (although may not happened).
I think this should be commits to Scintilla project, or just use the name string Nim in Notepad3's resource files(eg. Notepad3.rc) .

[rizonesoft]

@RaiKoHoff will mention @data-man in the release notes. There are a few contributors that need mentioning. @craigo- also needs a mention.

@SeaHOH : I did not use @data-man 's approach to integrate the NimLexer (replacing NimrodLexer), but did it the way we integrate the AHKLexer, which is also not part of Scintilla's lexer library.
Notepad3 has some other changes to Scintilla library too (windows part only, subset of available lexers, small other changes), so it is always a little bit work to integrate a new Scintilla library.
The NimLexer is implemented by Andreas Rumpf, I assume this is no synonym of data-man. The responsibility for the lexers in Scintilla's library is on lexer author side.

[SeaHOH]

@RaiKoHoff So, I think we can just use LexNimrod.cxx, LexNim.cxx is only a copy of it. I saw you add some header to use LexNim.cxx, that is needless, use the string NIMto display is enough.

[RaiKoHoff]

@SeaHOH : Ah, I didn't check this, you are right. I will cleanup this...

@RaiKoHoff
I have no account on SourceForge (And I don't want to register there).
Please, could you suggest the author to rename the Nimrod Lexer?
Because this language does not already exist.
