Please document the syntax of slint files

[martinellison]

Could you please document the syntax of the slint language. Something like https://www.sqlite.org/lang.html would be very helpful.

Hi, there is a Slint language reference https://slint.dev/releases/1.4.1/docs/slint/. It also contains details about the syntax. Is that what are you looking for?

Florin,

I was looking at something more formal, for example the syntax diagrams for sqLite that I linked to. Perhaps I am wrong there.

Regards, Martin Ellison (he/him)

Hi Martin, no problem. Then it I think you suggestion is a improvement for the documentation.

Do you want this to write tooling or as real documentation?

For the first use-case you might find our tree-sitter grammar handy. It's in editors/tree-sitter-slint/grammar.js. That does of course not work as documentation!

Real documentation. I just want to write slint code for a personal project.

I think other slint users would benefit from the same documentation. The existing documentation is more of a tutorial (despite the name) and reference documentation would be useful.
