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? -------------------------- // -------------------------- # For complete documentation of this file, please see Geany's main documentation [styling] # foreground;background;bold;italic default=0x000000;0xffffff;false;false commentline=0xd00000;0xffffff;false;false number=0x007f00;0xffffff;false;false word=0x111199;0xffffff;true;false string=0xff901e;0xffffff;false;false character=0x404000;0xffffff;false;false operator=0x301010;0xffffff;false;false identifier=0x000000;0xffffff;false;false backticks=0x000000;0xd0d0d0;false;false param=0x009f00;0xffffff;false;false scalar=0x105090;0xffffff;false;false error=0xff0000;0xffffff;false;false here_delim=0x000000;0xddd0dd;false;false here_q=0x7f007f;0xddd0dd;false;false [keywords] primary=at help plot set terminal eps png svg enhanced plot key top down left right label xlabel ylabel xrange yrange [settings] # default extension used when saving files extension=plt # the following characters are these which a "word" can contains, see documentation #wordchars=_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789 # single comments, like # in this file comment_single=# # multiline comments #comment_open= #comment_close= # set to false if a comment character/string should start a column 0 of a line, true uses any # indentation of the line, e.g. setting to true causes the following on pressing CTRL+d #command_example(); # setting to false would generate this # command_example(); # This setting works only for single line comments comment_use_indent=true # context action command (please see Geany's main documentation for details) context_action_cmd= [indentation] #width=4 # 0 is spaces, 1 is tabs, 2 is tab & spaces #type=1 [build_settings] # %f will be replaced by the complete filename # %e will be replaced by the filename without extension # (use only one of it at one time) run_cmd="./%f" -------------------------- // -------------------------- Thanks for the help.
