Is there any more documentation on the Lex syntax hidden somewhere (besides the summary at the top of each schclass file)?

For example, what is the difference between "parent" and "parent:dyn"?

---        parent   -- Property (required)                                             
parent
    Defines a direct parent of lex class. (parent class name)

parent:dyn    
    Defines a dynamic parent of lex class. (parent class name)
    Dynamic means that parent class can be not only direct parent, 
    but parent of its parent [of parent ...] until the top class/block.

parent:file
    Defines a top schema class. (as file extensions list <*.ext1|*.ext2>)

Only one of mentioned above 'parent' properties can be used for each class.

EXAMPLE:
    parent:file = <*.c|*.cpp|*.h|*.inl|*.tli|*.tlh|*.rc|*.rc2>    
    parent        = c_CPP
    parent:dyn    = c_CPP

A few weeks. But feel free to ask any additional questions on Lex syntax. I can show some more pieces of docs.

Is there any way to specify the starting column for a lexicon entry? IE, an '*' in a specific place denotes a comment?

Thanks,

I am new to lex and I would like some pointers where I can rapidly get up to speed. The latest version 11.0 has a dead link to specific lex documentation.

Thanks

Yes, take a look at some examples. For example, for INI files comment is started with ";" and it is coded as:


lexClass:
        name            = c_INIRemark
        parent          = c_INI
        start:Tag       = ';'
        end:Tag         = @eol
        txt:colorFG     = 0x008200
