Description

Note: The definitive Lua scripts for SciTE site is http://lua-users.org/wiki/SciteScripts. Go there for the latest stuff and information.

Here are some Lua scripts for SciTE's Lua extension that I have written. Most were uploaded as text files; please rename them before running.

• PFE-style line and paragraph reformatters. (Lua script, 15K) Not aware of block comments, unfortunately. Has left and right margins, first line indentation, sentence spacing, ignore non-text line flag, auto-move to next line flag. Can do hard breaks around punctuations.
• EditPad-style tab-to-space and space-to-tab conversion. (Lua script, 6K)
• SciTELuaExporters [LuaForge Link]. A framework for writing exporters in Lua, plus the 5 standard SciTE exporters (HTML, PDF, RTF, TeX, XML) ported over to Lua. Byte-for-byte identical exported output for most lexers. Makes possible easy development and customization of exporters. There is also an extended PDF exporter with full line wrapping with kerning, plus an SXW exporter (OpenOffice.org), an ABW exporter (AbiWord) and an ODT exporter (Open Document) that is exclusive to this collection of scripts.
• A script for playing Tic Tac Toe with SciTE. (Lua script, 9K)
• Inserting line numbers automatically (breaks highlighting.)
• Forcing a document to a particular EOL mode (mostly works.)
• Joseph Weizenbaum's classic Eliza ported to SciTE (Lua script, 8K)

Note: The SciteScripts Wiki page has a more comprehensive treatment on the subject of managing scripts. If you are a serious user of SciTE Lua scripts, I recommend placing all Lua scripts in a separate directory. Then, put the following line (or something like it) in your user properties file:

  ext.lua.startup.script=$(SciteDefaultHome)/script/SciTEStartup.lua

And place the following in your SciTEStartup.lua file to make loading of scripts easier:

  function loadscript(scriptfile)
    require(props["SciteUserHome"].."/script/"..scriptfile)
  end
  loadscript("SciTE_Reformat.lua")

If all your SciTE Lua scripts are in the same directory, then the usual Ctrl+Shift+O will very quickly open the script file under the caret.
