* Updated August 19, 2006 -- My joerc and asterisk.jsf files have been added to this page as TEXT for those who prefer.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Feedback is welcome (reasonable feedback) as are your updates and improvements. Send to andrewp@thenorth.com

I've no idea how many old programmers like me still use "joe" (Joe's Own Editor) to edit their Asterisk .conf files while in an SSH session and a bash shell, but for both of you out there who do, I've crafted a syntax file for managing these files. I've set it up to color the comments, hightlight blocks, mark variables, and emphasis separators.

I've not tried to make this comprehensive -- I did compile a keyword list but haven't (and probably won't) set it up to be fully keyword syntax aware. The nature of the language is such that I don't see it as necessary. I also use the comma, equals, =>, parens, and curly braces in mine. I realize many people use pipe symbols or other things --- but I did this for me.

You're welcome to use mine, extend it, make it yours, republish it with or without credit, make a more complete or correct version, or just point me to another one out there that's better.

As distributed, here's what it looks like in my extensions.conf file -- with a few things blurred out for privacy.



To add this to you own configuration for "joe" (Joe's Own Editor):

1. Edit your /etc/joe/joerc file and add these lines, so that this syntax is used for .conf files. This should be reasonably compatible with other .conf files on your system. You could do other things like use ;!AST as the first line of all your asterisk conf files and identify not by *.conf but rather syntax which looks for the identifier, but why bother. It goes somewhere in the second section of that file --you'll see many similar entries.
 
ASTERISK
*.conf
-autoindent
-syntax asterisk 

2. Drop this file (below) as "/etc/joe/syntax/asterisk.jsf"
 
asterisk.jsf 
 
joerc 

3. Note the security settings on the files should be sufficient that ANYONE can read them.

Initialization file for JOE
Standard Joe


JOE looks for this file in:
1 - $HOME/.joerc
2 - /etc/joe/joerc


This file can include other files by placing the following include command
in the first column:


:include filename

FIRST SECTION: Default global options (these options can also be specified
on the command line. Also the NOXON, LINES, COLUMNS, DOPADDING and BAUD
options can be specified in environment variables):


Put each option you want set in the first column:

-option Sets the option
--option Clears the option


-mid Cursor is recentered when scrolling is necessary

-marking Text between ^KB and cursor is highlighted (use with -lightoff)

-asis Characters 128 - 255 shown as-is

-force Force final newline when files are saved

-nobackups If you don't want backup files to be created

-lightoff Turn off highlighting after block copy or move

-exask ^KX always confirms file name

-beep Beep on errors and when cursor goes past extremes

-nosta Disable top-most status line

-keepup %k and %c status line escape sequences updated frequently

-pg nnn No. lines to keep for PgUp/PgDn

-csmode ^KF after a pervious search does a ^L instead

-backpath path Directory to store backup files

-nonotice Disable copyright notice

-noxon Attempt to turn off ^S/^Q processing

-orphan Put extra files given on command line in orphaned buffers
instead of in windows


-dopadding Output pad characters (for when there is no tty handshaking)

-lines nnn Set no. screen lines

-baud nnn Set baud rate for terminal optimizations

-columns nnn Set no. screen columns

-help Start with help on

-skiptop nnn Don't use top nnn lines of the screen

-notite Don't send terminal initialization and termination strings: prevents
restoration of screen on exit.


-usetabs Use tabs to help optimize screen update.

-assume_color Assume terminal has ANSI color support even if termcap/terminfo entry
says that it doesn't. This only applies if the terminal otherwise
looks like an ANSI terminal (support bold and capability starts with
ESC [).


-guess_crlf Automatically detect MS-DOS files and set -crlf appropriately

-guess_indent Guess indent character (tab or space).

-menu_explorer Stay in menu system when a directory is selected (otherwise
directory is added to path and menu is closed).


-icase Search is case insensitive by default.

-wrap Search wraps

-autoswap Swap markb with markk when necessary

Status line definition strings. -lmsg defines the left-justified string and
-rmsg defines the right-justified string. The first character of -rmsg is
the background fill character. The following escape sequences can be used
in these strings:


%t 12 hour time
%u 24 hour time
%T O for overtype mode, I for insert mode
%W W if wordwrap is enabled
%I A if autoindent is enabled
%X Rectangle mode indicator
%n File name
%m '(Modified)' if file has been changed
%* '*' if file has been changed
%R Read-only indicator
%r Row (line) number
%c Column number
%o Byte offset into file
%O Byte offset into file in hex
%a Ascii value of character under cursor
%A Ascii value of character under cursor in hex
%p Percent of file cursor is at
%l No. lines in file
%k Entered prefix keys
%S '*SHELL*' if there is a shell running in window
%M Macro recording message
%y Syntax
%x Context (first non-indented line going backwards)


These formatting escape sequences may also be given:

\i Inverse
\u Underline
\b Bold
\d Dim
\f Blink


-lmsg \i%k%T%W%I%X %n %m%y%R %M %x
-rmsg %S Row %r Col %c %t Ctrl-K H for help


SECOND SECTION: File name dependant local option settings:

Each line with '*' in the first column indicates the modes which should be
set for files whose name matches the regular expression. If more than one
regular expression matches the file name, then the last matching one is
chosen.


A file contents regular expression may also be specified on a separate line
with '+regex'. If this regular expresssion is given, then both the file name
regex and the file contents regex must match for the options to apply.


Here are the modes which can be set:

-utf8 File is UTF-8 coded

-syntax name Specify syntax (syntax file called
'name.jsf' will be loaded)


-highlight Enable highlighting

-smarthome Home key first moves cursor to beginning of line,
then if hit again, to first non-blank character.


-indentfirst Smart home goes to first non-blank character first,
instead of going the beginning of line first.


-smartbacks Backspace key deletes 'istep' number of
'indentc's if cursor is at first non-space
character.


-tab nnn Tab width

-indentc nnn Indentation character (32 for space, 9 for tab)

-istep nnn Number of indentation columns

-spaces TAB inserts spaces instead of tabs.

-purify Fix indentation if necessary for rindent, lindent and backs
(for example if indentation uses a mix of tabs and spaces,
and indentc is space, indentation will be converted to all
spaces).


-crlf File uses CR-LF at ends of lines

-wordwrap Wordwrap

-autoindent Auto indent

-overwrite Overtype mode

-picture Picture mode (right arrow can go past end of lines)

-lmargin nnn Left margin

-rmargin nnn Right margin


-french One space after '.', '?' and '!' for wordwrap
and paragraph reformat instead of two. Joe
does not change the spacing you give, but
sometimes it must put spacing in itself. This
selects how much is inserted.


-linums Enable line numbers on each line

-rdonly File is read-only

-keymap name Keymap to use if not 'main'

-lmsg Status line definition strings-
-rmsg see previous section for more info.


-mnew macro Macro to execute when new files are loaded
-mold macro Macro to execute when existing files are loaded
-msnew macro Macro to execute when new files are saved
-msold macro Macro to execute when existing files are saved


-square Rectangular block mode

Macros for the above options are in the same format as in the key
binding section below- but without the key name strings.


Default local options
-highlight
-istep 2


No '.' in file name? Assume it's a text file and we want wordwrap on.
*
-wordwrap


File name with '.'? It's probably not a text file.

THIRD SECTION: Named help screens:

Use \i to turn on/off inverse video
Use \u to turn on/off underline
Use \b to turn on/off bold
Use \d to turn on/off dim
Use \f to turn on/off flash


Use \| to insert a spring: all springs in a given line are set to the same
width such that the entire line exactly fits in the width of the screen (if
it's not an exact multiple so that there are N spaces remaining, the
rightmost N springs each get one extra space). Hint: if you want vertical
alignment, each line should have the same number of springs.

FOURTH SECTION: Key bindings:

Section names you must provide:

:main For editing window
:prompt For prompt lines
:query For single-character query lines
:querya Singe-character query for quote
:querysr Search & Replace single-character query


Other sections may be given as well for organization purposes or for
use with the '-keymap' option.


Use:
:inherit name To copy the named section into the current one
:delete key To delete a key sequence from the current section


Keys:

Use ^@ through ^_ and ^? for Ctrl chars
Use SP for space
Use a TO b to generate a range of characters


You can also use termcap string capability names. For example:

.ku Up
.kd Down
.kl Left
.kr Right
.kh Home
.kH End
.kI Insert
.kD Delete
.kP PgUp
.kN PgDn
.k1 - .k9 F1 - F9
.k0 F0 or F10
.k; F10


Macros:

Simple macros can be made by comma seperating 2 or more command names. For
example:


eof,bol ^T Z Goto beginning of last line

Also quoted matter is typed in literally:

bol,">",dnarw .k1 Quote news article line

Macros may cross lines if they end with ,

Commands or named macros may be created with :def. For example, you can
use:


:def foo eof,bol

To define a command foo which will goto the beginning of the last line.
