JEdit Syntax Highlighting

About

jEdit is a powerful text-editor. See its website for more informations.

The following informations provides you with syntax-highlighting for ArmA's SQS (obsolete), SQF and SQM files.

ArmA-Script, Syntax Highlighting

jEdit allows users to write and modify the XML files that define its syntax highlighting, so we're providing instructions to achieve this.

First of all, download "arma_code_v_06jan07.zip" and put it in jEdit's 'modes' directory. Now we need to tell jEdit about it. Open up the 'catalog' file in the 'modes' directory. Between any two <MODE> tags insert the following:

<MODE NAME="armacode" FILE="arma_code.xml" FILE_NAME_GLOB="*.{sqs,sqf,sqm}" />

I put it after "applescript" to maintain alphabetical order.

With all the files saved, jEdit should highlight ArmA-scripting functions. The appearance of the global syntax-highlighting can be changed under Utilities >> Global Options >> Syntax Highlighting.

Remarks

• Based on the Syntax-Highlighting for UltraEdit by Keijo Ruotsalainen (aka Kegetys) and Scripting Topics.

• I'm pretty sure that i missed a lot of functions ;-)
