[Github-comments] [geany/geany] YAML cannot be overridden (#2205)

[JanAxelsson]

YAML cannot be overriden like other file formats.

I went through large hurdles to implement docker-compose syntax highlighting. My problem was that I could not override the YAML file format.  It seems that  the main problem is that the build-in file "filetype_extensions.conf" needs to be edited, to comment out one row: #YAML=*.yaml;*.yml;
otherwise it is not possible to override YAML filetype.

How to reproduce : You may see the steps necessary to make the docker-compose work in 
   [https://wiki.geany.org/config/docker-compose](https://wiki.geany.org/config/docker-compose), and if you change anything you will either break the syntax highlighting of the docker-compose or of any yaml-file which is not a docker-compose.

I get a nagging suspicion that what is called YAML in the built-in  "filetype_extensions.conf" is something that cannot be overriden.  Can it be a built-in from Scintilla, which is impossible to override?
