Language support for MscGen, Xù and MsGenny in Atom

MscGen language support in Atom

Syntax highlighting for MscGen and two similar sequence chart languages.

If you're interested in this, another package - mscgen-preview - will definitely make you happy. mscgen-preview includes the language-mscgen highlighting and live-previews the rendered chart.

Features

• Contextualized syntax highlighting
• Inline expression folding
• Snippets:
  • msc - a skeleton sequence chart appropriate for the language
  • arc - a single arrow arc: a =>> b [label="Message"];
  • ent - an entity: entity [label="Entity"]
  • loop and arc - a loop and an arc template (only available in xù and msgenny)

Supported grammars

The three languages supported by the mscgen_js library and interpreter:

• MscGen (*.mscgen, *.mscin, *.msc)
  see http://www.mcternan.me.uk/mscgen
• Xù (*.xu)
  Adds inline expressions like alt and loop to MscGen. See the Xù wiki page for more information.
• MsGenny (*.msgenny)
  Xù with a simplified syntax. And a little less features. The MsGenny wiki page has more information.
