Getting ahold of the monkey syntax and commands

I am trying to write my own syntax file for another IDE. As part of this I have coded a program to builds this plug in/syntax file myself that I want / hope to work on all future monkey releases. This leads me onto my question...

What is the best / proper way of obtaining all the syntax of the monkey language?.

I figure writing a program that scans the modules folder and extracts the syntax is going to be the most robust way.

Depends what exactly you need, but have a look at Monkey docs -> Home -> Index (at the top).

First off, sorry for dragging this old thread out of retirement!.

After some tinkering I have now spotted a 'decls.txt' file that looks like it could be used in obtaining the above (this is in docs\html folder of monkey). I do not know what version of Monkey if came in, but it exists in v70f.

Anyone else looking for this might be able to use this file along with the index.txt file in that location to obtain syntax hilighting
