Hi,<br>
<br>
I am new to the Geany IDE but I am really liking it. I am using it
in Ubuntu. One particular application I want to adapt if for
requires color highlighting. I am tying to work through the user
manual (
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<a
href="http://www.geany.org/manual/current/index.html#lexer-filetype">http://www.geany.org/manual/current/index.html#lexer-filetype</a>)
but admittedly, it is a steep learning curve for me. I have created
color highlighting/syntax for this same application in Gedit but
their system is totally different. I think Geany will be a much
better environment if I can get color highlighting working.<br>
<br>
I created a custom filetypes file (a copy of the filetypes.latex)
and put it in the .config/geany/filedefs folder. I added the type to
the filedefs_extensions.conf and I am trying to edit the
filetypes.usfm to get the color highlighting to start working. To
start, I have edited these two sections:<br>
<br>
[keywords]<br>
# all items must be in one line<br>
primary=\id \h \toc1 \mt1<br>
<br>
[settings]<br>
# default extension used when saving files<br>
extension=usfm<br>
<br>
This is a sample of data I am testing with:<br>
<br>
\id cid
<br>
\h heading
<br>
\toc1 Table of Contents
<br>
\mt1 Main Title
<br>
<br>
So far I have not had any success getting any markers to "light up".
Any suggestions on what I should do next. Thanks in advance for any
help anyone can give.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
<br>
