I know there are examples for custom completion files, but somehow I just don't get it. I would really like code completion for LaTeX on my iPad, so I copied one of the example files, generated a new uuid on my MacBook using uuidgen and changed some stuff around, then uploaded the file to my iPad and restarted Textastic, but the code completion window won't show up. I feel like my main problem is the pattern in the context part of the file. Which kind of regex does Textastic use? Textmate uses Oniguruma Regular Expressions, does Textastic, too? Also, what happens if the regex matches/does not match?

I thought it should be fairly easy to create those files, but unfortunately the git repository has not been updated for almost a year and the file format is not documented :( Help is greatly apreciated!

It would be great to have syntax coloration for modern javascript (es2015

I tend to use my iPad more to consume content than to produce it. So, my main use case for buying Textastic was as a slick tool for reviewing code -- either as part of a formal code review or to gain an understanding of some third party component. In both of these cases, it would be nice to be able to annotate the code with my comments as I review.

For example:

I click on a line number and a dialog pops up to input a comment. Once I made a comment, there would be some sort of visual indicator telling me that there was a comment at that spot. Finally, when I was done my review session, I'd be able to collect my comments in some form. This could be as simple as creating a text file FileUnderReview.rb.comments with entries like:

Line 34: Some insightful comment.

(Or it could use a standardized file format instead if there is anything out there)

Project bundles like something.textastic would allow us to upload projects with subfolders to iCloud with out any problems.
