Taskjuggler (http://www.taskjuggler.org) is a project planning software which uses a plain text file for the definition of tasks which is then processed to create the schedule.
Unfortunately the built-in editor is Kate, which makes me scream. Any other editor than Emacs is hard to swallow for me.
Taskjuggler ships with a small emacs mode which does some highlighting and indention. From that I took the indention function and rewrote the rest from scratch.
I started this yesterday (2008-07-15) and finished it today (2008-07-16) so it's probably pretty beta. But I will use it in the next days/weeks. No more updates to the file means, everything is fine, otherwise I will post newer versions of the file and this text will become outdated.
Download taskjuggler-mode.el and call
(require 'taskjuggler-mode)
from your init-file
This does NOT work in XEmacs. It shouldn't be too hard to port it, though. So, if you need this to support XEmacs, drop me a line.
C-c C-s | check syntax using taskjuggler backend |
C-c C-c | compile using taskjuggler backend |
C-c C-d | Insert dependency with completion and (hopefully) correct relative path |
C-c C-r | Insert resource (with completion and context keywords) |
C-c r | Rescan current buffer completely |
C-c i t | Insert task template |
C-c i r | Insert resource template |
This mode highlights many words but without any knowledge of the context and the list is probably not complete.
