Dear TMaters,

Is there a way to parse an external file, say within my project, and possibly defined by a project environment variable - to add certain terms to my Language Grammar? This would be very useful for LaTeX projects where you have different custom macros and/or different used packages where you want some hi-lighting in your theme and thus have to change the grammar file for all those changes. Better would be a macro/script/whatever that would just scan the preamble.tex or so for all my \newcommands and add them to the recognized scopes...

Or, less fun but still useful: one could write a file with certain terms that need a new scope - and parse that from within the bundle. I guess maybe this is overkill, but it seems to me that LaTeX is one of the more customizable languages out there - and I at least would love some more power-tools and flexibility on my fingertips *without* running to write new regexp's every time (but then I am not familiar enough with regexps to do so easily - maybe that will need to change).

What exactly IS the most useful way and best way in regards to updating "official" bundles via svn to make customized bundles? How can I make sure that I can still take advantages of "official" changes that come via svn but still retain my customizations? (And possibly be informed if there are conflicts - i.e. if there are changes in a bundle where I have changes as well…?).
