SHJS AutoIt Syntax Highlighting Definition File

This definition file adds support for AutoIt Syntax Highlighting in SHJS.

I wanted to add support for AutoIt in SHJS, so i wrote my own language definition file. This is likely far from perfect, and is of cause subject to change.

Note. Feel free to help improve this if you are interested, simply post your modifications in the comments to this Article.

The .lang source file

The autoit.lang file is included below, you can generate the JavaScript used by SHJS with the sh2js.pl file, but this requires that you have perl installed with the Parse::RecDescent module.

If you are using windows, and would like to learn how to install everything you need to help, check out this Tutorial that we made:Installing Perl CPAN Modules on Windows

The autoit.lang file:
