Hello,
I have installed geany 0.19 (*) mainly to use the new Custom filetypes feature; but cannot have it work. Below what I did for an Oberon filetype:
* In filetype_extensions.conf: added "Oberon=*.ob;".
* Created a filetype.oberon file with settings adapted from filetype.pascal and the additional followong lines in the [settings] section: tag_parser="pascal" lexer_filetype="pascal" (also tried without quotes)
* Created Oberon-specific data in menu Build/Set Build Commands.
Compilation works, which proves the filetype is taken into account; but syntax highlighting does not at all (all test remains in default style). Help/pointer welcome.
Also, I don't understand the respective roles of these 2 settings. Explanation/pointer welcome. I think there may be a short and clear running example for this new feature.
(*) On debian/ubuntu, one needs to first install intltool instead of preinstalled intltool-debian. ________________________________
