Your language module is malformed and is missing crucial elements. BBEdit will log codeless language module errors; if you choose "Logs" from the Folders submenu on BBEdit's application menu, a Finder window will open showing the appropriate location, and the log file will be therein. I recommend starting with the Codeless Language Module documentation at https://www.barebones.com/support/develop/clm.html R. > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> > <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" > "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";> > <plist version="1.0"> > <dict> > <key>BBEditDocumentType</key> > <string>CodelessLanguageModule</string> > <key>BBLMLanguageCode</key> > <string>timtest</string> > <key>BBLMLanguageDisplayName</key> > <string>timtest</string> > </dict> > </plist> > > -- > This is the BBEdit Talk public discussion group.
