Description Mark Macdonald CLA 2011-06-10 13:21:30 EDT 
For demo-ability and also because JSON is a useful format within Orion, we should be able to support its grammar "out of the box". Basically you should be able to translate the grammar into JSON, dump it in a plugin with a minimal amount of service-registration glue, and have it installable into Orion and just work.

The only obvious gap I can see is that the JSON grammar uses "extended" regexes in this form:

> (?x: ... )

Currently TextMateStyler only understands the "extended" syntax if it's in this form:

> (?x) ...
