Emacs LSL Mode

Since I can't figure out how to attach this or whatever to the page, you'll have to copy-and-paste the text below into a file called "lsl-mode.el" so the autoload in the comments below can work out.

I have modified this slightly to allow for C++ style comments not C comments (// instead of /* */){--RichardR Bleac 08:01, 13 June 2007 (PDT)}

;; This software has been given to the PUBLIC DOMAIN. Use it as you see
;; fit. As usual, no warrantees are available, neither expressed nor
;; implied. You use this software at your own risk.

;; To load this into emacs, add the following lines to your .emacs:
;
; (add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/directory/containing/this/file")
; (autoload 'lsl-mode "lsl-mode" "Load LSL mode." t)
; (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.lsl$" . lsl-mode))
;
;; You should then be able to load up LSL files and get the pretty
;; colors and indentation.

;; This is derived from C-mode, since LSL is so similar. There'll
;; probably be a couple gotchas as a result. I haven't tested this
;; thorougly, but it works well enough for me. If you have any
;; improvements, feel free to contact Brain Curry in game.

Another lsl mode, xlsl-mode by Xah Lee is available at http://xahlee.org/sl/ls-emacs.html

This mode supports syntax coloring, comment/uncomment, reference lookup. It also support syntax checking with lslint and function templates insertion with yasnippet.
