BOZES provides a mechanism for the evaluation of embedded programming language blocks in a Zim document. It has nothing to do with a pinnacle of the same name in Israel.
The project attempts to be cross-platform and has been written in C# targeting .NET Core 3.0.
The Zim document may contain
[8th]
42
dup
*
.
[/8th]
[euphoria]
atom a = 42
printf(1, "%d", a * a)
[/euphoria]
[perl]print 42*42[/perl]
[python]print(42*42)[/python]
[bash]
#! /bin/bash
let a=42*42
echo $a
[/bash]
Each block may be selected and evaluated from a menu selection or menubar click.
The above evaluated becomes
[8th]
42
dup
*
.
[/8th]
Result: 1764
[euphoria]
atom a = 42
printf(1, "%d", a * a)
[/euphoria]
Result: 1764
[perl]print 42*42[/perl]
Result: 1764
[python]print(42*42)[/python]
Result: 1764
[bash]
#! /bin/bash
let a=42*42
echo $a
[/bash]
Result: 1764
The languages are controlled by a bozes.json file beside the executable which contains, for example,
{
"8th": {
"Extension": "8th",
"Binary": "c:\\8th\\bin\\win64\\8th.exe",
"Tail": "$F"
},
"euphoria": {
"Extension": "ex",
"Binary": "C:\\Euphoria\\bin\\eui.EXE",
"Tail": "$F"
},
"perl": {
"Extension": "pl",
"Binary": "C:\\Users\\bugma\\scoop\\apps\\perl\\current\\perl\\bin\\perl.EXE",
"Tail": "$F"
},
"python": {
"Extension": "py",
"Binary": "C:\\Users\\bugma\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\WindowsApps\\python.exe",
"Tail": "$F"
},
"bash": {
"Extension": "sh",
"Binary": "C:\\Users\\bugma\\scoop\\shims\\bash.EXE",
"Tail": "-c $f"
}
}
Setting this up in Zim is quite easy. BOZES is a "custom tool" and is added to the custom tools collection using the dialog:
I have another instance of BOZES labelled as "BOZES debug" which includes "--debug" just before the %t. Invocation of that results in the evaluation of Debugger.Launch() and the ability to step through the code in Visual Studio.
Documentation is scanty at the moment.
