jag: a simple terminal editor with syntax highlighting

jag editor

Version française

jag is a terminal editor that provides color syntax highlighting for programs in C++, Python and Tamgu.

Note: jag has been implemented as a C++ class: jag_editor, which you can use in your own programs.

Download

You can easily download your version from: /~https://github.com/naver/tamgu/releases/tag/tamgu.jag

Note that the archive jag.zip comprises the four versions for Mac OS, centos, fedora and ubuntu, each in its own folder.

However, each archive of Tamgu for Linux and Mac OS also comes with a pre-compiled version of jag.

Compile

The Jag editor is based on the four following files (see src):

jag.cxx
jagmain.cxx
jagrgx.cxx
conversion.cxx

and the following include files:

binmap.h
conversion.h
inc.txt
jag.h
jagrgx.h
jagvecte.h
tamguboost.h
x_node.h
x_tokenize.h

There is a specific target in the Makefile: make jag to compile a version for your platform. You need to launch: "python install.py" beforehand.
