an adaptable text editor. Contribute to sminez/ad development by creating an account on GitHub.
Given the (arguably questionable) goal of implementing everything from scratch, there is a fair amount of functionality included in ad which in turn is split out into a number of modules within the crate. One aim of this project is to provide an implementation of "Structural Regular Expressions" as first presented (to my knowledge) in the Sam text editor from plan9 by Rob Pike. The current engine can be used via the-e and-f flags to run ad in headless mode, but hooking things into the interactive editor directly should be coming soon.
