Supported Modula-2 Dialects

This Textmate bundle supports separate dialect modes for the following Modula-2 dialects:

• PIM Modula-2
• ISO Modula-2
• Modula-2 R10

Dialect Tags

The bundle auto-selects the dialect mode by recognising Modula-2 dialect tags. A Modula-2 dialect tag is a comment with embedded dialect information. Such Modula-2 dialect tags are supported across multiple utilities and frameworks, for example the Pygments rendering framework.

However, the bundle will only recognise a Modula-2 dialect tag in the first line of a Modula-2 source file.

The general syntax of a Modula-2 dialect tags is as follows:

dialectTag :=
  '(*!' dialectIdent langExtensionIdent? '*)'
  ;

dialectIdent :=
  'm2pim' | 'm2iso' | 'm2r10'
  ;

langExtensionIdent :=
  '+' letter ( letter | digit )*
  ;

The bundle will ignore any language extension info.

For best results, put one of the following tags at the very beginning of your Modula-2 source file:

• (*!m2pim*) in source files written for PIM Modula-2
• (*!m2iso*) in source files written for ISO Modula-2
• (*!m2r10*) in source files written for Modula-2 R10
