Parsing

The syntactic correctness of text buffers can be analyzed by a built-in parser, which is invoked either automatically or manually. The parser is invoked automatically by parser-initiating commands when auto-parsing mode is enabled. Parsing can be invoked manually using the commands parse-selection and parse-buffer. Parse-selection checks all text buffers in the current structural selection; parse-buffer checks all text buffers in the entire buffer. Syntax error messages are printed either in the status pane (if parsing was invoked automatically) or in an alert box (if parsing was invoked explicitly).

Parsing commands are:

• format
• parse-buffer
• parse-selection
• parsing-off
• parsing-on
• parsing-toggle
