Standard actions

This is the full overview of pre-defined standard actions, available in the parce.action module namespace.

The bundled language definitions use these, and the bundled CSS themes provide styling for these. But you are free to add your own definitions and use your own CSS files (which may @import other CSS files).

See for more information the standardaction module.

a = standardaction.StandardAction

# Base actions, derive from these:

Text            = a("Text")
Whitespace      = a("Whitespace")
Keyword         = a("Keyword")
Delimiter       = a("Delimiter")
Name            = a("Name")             # see below for many derived actions
Literal         = a("Literal")          # see below for many derived actions
Comment         = a("Comment")


# Mixin actions, yield subtle style changes:
