Functions

open fun getTree(state: EditorState): Tree

Parse the document in state and return the resulting syntax tree. Subclasses may override to pass additional context (e.g. tabSize) to the underlying parser.

open fun startParse(doc: Text, fragments: List<TreeFragment> = emptyList()): PartialParse

Start an incremental parse of doc, reusing tree portions from fragments. Returns a PartialParse whose PartialParse.advance can be called repeatedly.
