{{LSL Header}}{{Multi-lang}}
There are several off-world editors available for free or purchase. Some have syntax highlighting for LSL that will make your code easier to follow. One will compile and execute a large subset of LSL. Below are some of the more popular editors for use with LSL.

If you have a favorite that is missing from the list, '''please''' feel free to add it.

For some of the editors mentioned here, the [http://adammarker.org/shill Shill] project may have more up-to-date syntax files.

==Off-world syntax checker==
You can build a syntax checker yourself and hook it into whatever editor you fancy if you have the viewer source installed and compiled on your machine. The C++ source to build one yourself is [[User:JB_Kraft#Offline_LSL_Syntax_Checker|here (JB Kraft)]].

==Off-world edit '''and''' execute==
This is heaven. Not only see if your syntax is correct, but actually execute your scripts in an off-world test environment. See multiple scripts send messages to one another, find concurrency bugs, test your list parsing routines.

===[[LSL-Editor]]===

* [http://www.lsleditor.org/ http://www.lsleditor.org/]

LSL-Editor '''for Windows''' is a standalone LSL script '''editor, compiler and debugger'''. Binary code only (not open source).

It is the only off-world editor that also has a script execution run-time.

Its compiler and debugger are already now reasonably accurate, but yet quite totally perfect. Please blog any LSL-Editor bugs you find into such places as our [[LSLEditorBugs|LSL-Editor Bugs]] article.

==Multi-platform Editors==
===ByronStar SL===
Based on [http://eclipse.org Eclipse], the [http://byronstar-sl.sourceforge.net/ ByronStar SL IDE] includes most modern program editor features. It also includes custom features for LSL, such as variable checking, error markers, and code formatting. Eclipse is available for Macintosh, Linux, Windows, and many UNIX flavors.

===Emacs===
There's an [[Emacs LSL Mode]] available on this wiki, which provides syntax highlighting and indentation features. If you want some tips on writing LSL in emacs, read [http://xahlee.org/sl/ls-emacs.html Xah Lee's page]. Emacs is available for many Unix flavors, Macintosh and Windows.

You may come across (and attempt to use) Gary Evan's [http://www.cs.iastate.edu/~leavens/emacs/lsl-mode.el LSL major mode]. It won't work with the Linden Scripting Language, as Gary wrote it for the [http://www.cs.iastate.edu/larch-faq-webboy.html Larch Shared Language].

===vim===
[http://www.vim.org/ vim:] vi improved. A multi-platform evolution of the most classical of the editors: vi. GPL code.

===jEdit===
Developed in Java, this mature, cross-platform editor runs on any operating system with a Java 2 version 1.3 or higher virtual machine. It has all the features you'd expect from a full-GUI text editor. Syntax highlighting and tailored editing behavior is supported through "modes." (You can get the LSL 'modes' file [https://webspace.nyu.edu/xythoswfs/webui/_xy-774011_1-t_B0BNqUnE here].) The editor supports a rich plug-in API; many third-party plug-ins exist to facility editing, formatting, communications, etc.<br>

This a great text editor with extensible language support. It also happens to be an incredible collaborative editor. Info at: http://www.subethaedit.net/

There is a contributed LSL mode by Zarf Vantongerloo. The mode is a little out of date and could use some love. But in general works great, doing syntax hilighting of LSL funcitons and adding a pop-up menu of all functions, states and event handlers to the top of the window.
