# Development scripts
# Development documentation
## The manager logic
The manager is responsible for detecting the correct root file and once detected to parse the whole project. Its logic is explained in `manager-logic.odg`.
## Scripts for Intelisense
We describe the purpose of the scripts found in the current directory.
These scripts are actually only frontend to the `pyintel` package, which implements the core mechanisms. It fetches the latest list of packages and classes along with their descriptions from CTAN at https://ctan.org/pkg. It uses the TeXLive Package database `texlive.tlpdb` retrieved from https://mirrors.ircam.fr/pub/CTAN/systems/texlive/tlnet/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb.
## ctanpkglist.py
### ctanpkglist.py
It produces the intellisense data for classes and packages and save the result as json files: `../data/classnames.json` and `../data/packagenames.json`.
### Classes
#### Classes
The list of classes is computed from the TeXLive Package database by looking for all `.cls` files. The description associated to each class is obtained from CTAN.
### Packages
#### Packages
Getting a proper list of packages is tricky as the package names (as listed by CTAN) do not always match the base names of the `.sty` files to be loaded by `\usepackage`. This is handled in the following way

As some packages cannot be properly detected using the above mechanism, we maintain a list of extra packages to be added to the list in [extra-packagenames.json](extra-packagenames.json). These packages are automatically added at the end of the [`ctanpkglist.py`](dev/ctanpkglist.py) script.
## unimathsymbols.py
### unimathsymbols.py
It parses uni-math symbols from http://milde.users.sourceforge.net/LUCR/Math/data/unimathsymbols.txt and save the result as a json file. The result is used to generate command intellisense.

## func3.py
### func3.py
This script generates intellisense data for LaTeX stored in [`../data/expl3_cmd.json`](../data/expl3_cmd.json).
## Grammar files
### generate-bailout.js
The script `generate-bailout.js` is responsible for generating a modified C/C++ grammar file based on https://github.com/jeff-hykin/better-cpp-syntax. The new grammar file is `syntax/cpp-grammar-bailout.tmLanguage.json` makes sure that the end of the LaTeX environment is properly detected.
