ABAP Syntax Support

[Stegosawr]

What problem does this feature solve?

Makes .abap files readable.

What feature do you propose?

Add support for the programming language ABAP.

(Sorry that the comments are in german, but I think you'll get the point)

Do you have the source code for the code in your screenshot?

That way we can see if Chroma can be made to recognise the same as your image shows. I don't want to type over the content of your screenshot. 🙂

Is the formatting that your image shows the 'golden standard'?

(To prevent duplicate work, a heads up that I started working on this issue.)

It looks like Pygments has ABAP support, so it should be fairly straightforward.

The best ABAP language support comes from SAP themselfs. They have developed a ADK for eclipse maybe you can grab the syntax highlighting from there :)

The formatting in ABAP is a little bit weird. If you want to see some more source code check out this project on github.

That's the one I'm using and what I'm hoping for. Without your helpful Chroma conversion tool it would be undoable since I know nothing of ABAP.

Thanks!
