Hello,
I want to add syntax highlighting for Gnuplot files. I have made an effort to follow the documentation but the syntax highlighting doesn't work. My guess is that I got the file contents wrong. I am using the instructions in the manual:
http://www.geany.org/manual/dev/index.html#custom-filetypes
As instructed, I edited filetype_extensions.conf and inserted the following line:
Gnuplot=*.plt;*.gp;
I also created filetypes.Gnuplot.conf and I have every indication that Geany can in fact read this file:
1) I now have a new menu entry: Document > Set Filetype > Gnuplot file. 2) Geany seems to recognize that a file with the .plt or .gp extension is a Gnuplot file (it says "Gnuplot" on the status bar). 3) All this stops working if I remove filetypes.Gnuplot.conf
So clearly Geany can see the file. But I do not have any kind of syntax highlighting that I can see. So I suppose that my file contents are wrong. Here is the file. Can anyone see an obvious problem with it?

Thanks for the help.
