Ok, I named the top line of the Build Command dialog "check".
I entered /usr/local/bin/check_json %f in the Command field beside it.
I left the Working Directory field blank.
I entered ([^:]+):([0-9]+) in the Error Regular Expression field at the bottom of the top block.
Then I clicked Ok and nothing happened. There is no syntax highlighting of my Json files ..even after restarting Geany.
I am missing something obvious, but I do not see it.
What is it?
Thanks for all your help,
RF

Some progress, thanks to you, Colomban.
But, still some questions:
What is meant in the wiki by:
- "use /usr/local/bin/check_json %f as the compile command"? Under "Set
Build Commands" I have many choices where to place the command, but I do not see a Compile command.
You don't see one because you havn't added it yet :) Just use the top line of the dialog, thats traditionally the compile command. Note, since you have to give it the name as well, you might want to call it "check" instead of "compile" since thats what it runs.
I do see a "Make" and "Make Custom Target" commands.
- "..and ([^:]+):([0-9]+) as the Error Regular Expression" is pasted in the
"Error regular expression" field immediately below wherever I paste the compile command?
Yes.
Finally, if I am successful, I would be pleased to rewrite this wiki page to make it clearer for dummies like me.
All contributions welcome.
Cheers Lex
Thanks,

The Geany wiki provides instructions on how to add json support.
But I have run into problems:
- I cannot find |filetypes_extensions.conf|, the file I need to
modify on my Linux Ubuntu system.
It may not already exist in your user config, but it's supposed to be in ~/.config/geany/. You can also open it for editing using Tools->Configuration files->filetype_extensions.conf from inside Geany.
- I assume I deed to add the new filetypes.JSON.conf to the
/usr/share/geany folder
No, this is the system path, to add a filetype for your user, add it in ~/.config/geany/filedefs/

Can anyone help me add json support to an otherwise outstanding code editor?
