-- Language definition for PDF files
-- Author: Roland Hieber <rohieb@rohieb.name>
-- Date: 2013-11-22
-- Known Bugs:

--  * Does not (yet) highlight inside streams due to limitations in the library

Description="Highlighting definitions for the Portable Document Format (PDF)"

IgnoreCase=false

-- File Structure
PreProcessor={
  Prefix=[[%PDF-[0-9]\.[0-9]|%%EOF|xref|startxref|trailer]]
}

-- Comments. But do not match file structure elements.
Comments={
  { Block=false,
    Delimiter={ [[%(?!PDF-[0-9]\.[0-9]|%EOF)]] },
  },
}

-- Numbers: 0.45, +1.34, -.4, 123, 4., and so on.
Digits=[[ [-+]?\.[0-9]+|[-+]?[0-9]+\.?[0-9]* ]]

-- Strings: (string), <hex> and streams
Strings={
  DelimiterPairs= {
    { Open=[[ \( ]], Close=[[ \) ]] },
    { Open=[[ < ]], Close=[[ > ]] },
    { Open=[[ ^stream ]], Close=[[ ^endstream ]], Raw=true },
  }
}

-- Note: we highlight dictionary and array syntax as "keywords", so we have to
-- include them in Identifiers. This definition basically matches the allowed
-- characters for Names. Also, we do not want to match Numbers, Streams,
-- References and file structure elements as identifiers
