Syntax coloring and code completion within Adobe GoLive CS to simplify
Lasso development
Bellevue, WA–September 30, 2003–Blue World Communications, Inc.–pioneers
of the Web Data Engine(tm)–today announced the Lasso Syntax Module for
Adobe(r) GoLive(r) CS. The Lasso Syntax Module makes it easier for Lasso
developers to build and maintain sites based on Lasso Dynamic Markup
Language (LDML). The Lasso Syntax Module will be made available at no

tool for Web professionals announced Monday.
“Adobe GoLive CS boasts many new features that increase the efficiency of

Lasso Syntax Module for building data-driven Web sites,” said George
Arriola, senior product manager for GoLive at Adobe. “Blue World has always
offered excellent support for GoLive customers and we’re delighted they are
continuing their exemplary support with this version.”
“Lasso developers have yearned for Lasso syntax coloring and code
completion and now they can get it for free, right within Adobe GoLive CS,”
said Bill Doerrfeld, CEO of Blue World. “It’s never been easier to begin
coding projects based on Lasso.”
Adobe GoLive CS is a component of the Adobe Creative Suite, a complete
design solution that gives creative professionals the tools they need to
create and publish content to print and the Web faster, more easily and
more affordably than ever.
Lasso Syntax Module Features
The Lasso Syntax Module delivers two key features essential to speeding the
process of coding and troubleshooting, namely, syntax coloring and code
completion.
Syntax coloring allows Lasso developers to more easily view their Lasso
code. LDML tags, parameters, and values are each designated by differently
colored text when editing within source view. This makes it easier to
distinguish Lasso code from HTML.
Code completion makes it very easy to input LDML. As you begin typing the
beginning letters of a tag or parameter, a window pops up alongside your
code which contains an alphabetized listing of relevant LDML tag names.
Simply scroll to or select the full name, press return and the entire
construct is inserted. Given the logically grouped naming conventions
established for LDML, code completion makes it especially easy to view all
tags of a particular LDML tag group just by typing the first part of the
group name. For example, typing “Str” will show all tags in the “String”
group.
Additional features include automatic parentheses balancing and parentheses
selection. When entering parenthetical expressions, typing the closing
parentheses will cause the open parentheses to be highlighted briefly so
that you can confirm that the opening and closing parentheses match. This
is useful when dealing with complex nested expressions to ensure your
parenthetical expressions are properly grouped. Also, double-clicking on
either parentheses will highlight the entire expression.
Availability
The Lasso Syntax Module will be available immediately upon the release of
Adobe GoLive CS via download on the Adobe Web site. Users will access the
link to download the Lasso Syntax Module directly off of the main site for
Adobe GoLive CS. The Lasso Syntax Module will be available via download at
no additional charge.
