-h1=. Star Ratings for Syntax Highlighter Language Support (Draft)
-
-p={font-style: italic}. murphy 2008-11-06, updated 2008-12-25
-
-h2. Abstract
-
-A proposal for a simple, 6-level star rating to estimate a syntax highlighters' support of a given language.
-
-h2. Levels
-
-I propose five levels, which can be represented with 0 to 5 out of 5 stars:
-
-|_=. Name |_=. Level |_. Stars |
-|>. No support |=. 0 | ☆☆☆☆☆ |
-|>. Poor support |=. 1 | ★☆☆☆☆ |
-|>. Basic support |=. 2 | ★★☆☆☆ |
-|>. Good support |=. 3 | ★★★☆☆ |
-|>. Very good support |=. 4 | ★★★★☆ |
-|>. Perfect support |=. 5 | ★★★★★ |
-
-h3. Definition
-
-Each rating has an associated support percentage and a short description.
-
-|_<. Name |_. Stars |_>. % |_<. Description |
-| No support | ☆☆☆☆☆ |>. 0 | Missing, broken, or useless. |
-| Poor support | ★☆☆☆☆ |>. 70 | Highlights average code, fails on complex code, hangs up, buggy. |
-| Basic support | ★★☆☆☆ |>. 90 | Good highlighting for typical code, problems with complex code. |
-| Good support | ★★★☆☆ |>. 98 | Solid highlighting for most code, some problems with very complex code. |
-| Very good support | ★★★★☆ |>. 99 | Perfect highlighting even for complex code, only small problems with edge cases. |
-| Perfect support | ★★★★★ |>. 100 | Complete highlighting, can be used as reference. |
-
-h2. Rating Process
-
-The star ratings are defined above. It is completely up to the author of a scanner to rate their work.
-
-However, they should be careful not to overrate a scanner/lexer. Ratings of 2 and up should only be granted for tested code. A rating of 3 should not be given without a review of another person who knows the language very well. A rating of 5 is very rare for complex languages; such scanners should be bug free, feature complete, and absolutely reliable. A rating of 4 is typically the goal for a developer.
