Syntax checking
Contents
Overview
The aim of this project is to provide adequate, but non obtrusive feedback to user about syntax errors. This is done by checking syntax as you type and underlining syntax errors by the well knwon wavy red line. Furthermore, error descriptions and possible solutions should be provided.
The Project is named SynChé, which is a combination of syntax and checking. The é at the end is important, as a cool name needs either a recursive acronym or a special character from a non English language.

May 12th
Results of the Meeting: Visualisation
May 17th
Results of Parser Group: Parser
M4: May 23rd
- Parser Group: Find out what results you get from the parser
- Visualisation Group: Write a feature that draw the red underline
M6: June 27th

Team
Everyone intrested in this project is welcome to join our mailinglist es-ui@origo.ethz.ch. At this point, the team is divided into two groups at this point, one responsible for the parser, the other one for visual feedback (like underlininig).
