Learners master the foundational architecture of Pygments RegexLexer development specifically customized for the Magma computer algebra system. Through targeted regular expression design, participants acquire practical skills to tokenize core language keywords, operators, and distinct literal formats including numbers and strings. The course also equips learners to implement robust lexical rules for single-line and multiline comments to ensure accurate, resilient syntax highlighting.

Custom Pygments Lexer Engineering for Magma @ University of Michigan - Ann Arbor

Learners will explore the core mechanics of syntax highlighting by building and refining custom lexers with Python and the Pygments library. Through practical Python examples, you will learn how regular expressions break raw source code into tokens and accurately map them to distinct keyword and operator categories. By the end of the course, you will understand how to distinguish language constructs reliably and handle common tokenization edge cases.
