Description Mark Macdonald CLA 2011-05-31 17:18:04 EDT 
Need a way to contribute syntax highlighting rules without the plugin registry. 

Also, it should be possible to contribute your own JS implementation of styler rather than a grammar-based set of rules. Currently only a grammar is supported.

Can you describe a bit what you're thinking about.

Originally I meant this for whatever needed to be done to get HTML highlighting working in a no-registry scenario.

But I just looked at the code and this should be possible already. You can directly instantiate a TextMateStyler, pass the grammar from htmlSyntaxHighlight.js and then use it in your editor.

I'll update the embeddededitor example to show how this can be done.
