JEdit Syntax Highlighting
About
jEdit is a powerful text-editor. See the website for more informations
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 ;-)
