+1 for colors +1 for reduce <% %> size +0 for green color (need to try to choose)
Hi acceloers,
I am not an active acceleo developer but I watch discussion closely. I am more an acceleo user who have used acceleo in several projects. One critic that I made to the acceleo toolkit was that acceleo templates were not so easy to distinguish because of the blue colour. I am glad to read that you have planned to use colors. I just want to discuss one point about the “<%” and “%>” tags.
If I understand well, users will be able to distinguish Acceleo statements thanks to several colors (one for the loop statement, another for the conditional statement). Hence, the “<%” and “%>” tags will not be the crucial information that users will analyse for understanding acceleo templates. As user, I know that things both tagged and colour coded are specific acceleo statements by the end. Actually, I assume that the acceleo parser requires those tags. Thanks to tags, users specify acceleo statements to the parser. Thanks to colors, the parser notifies recognized statements to users.
Hence, what about reducing the character size of those tags in order to facilitate the template reading from a user point of view?
It is just a user suggestion. I am not aware of technical constraints for such feature.

Jonathan MUSSET a écrit :Hi everybody,
We finally decided to change the colors of the "for" and the "if" in the "Acceleo Template Editor" for Acceleo 2.2
Here is an example of the new syntax...
Any suggestions?
