Creating edit modes

Submitted by OBI_Ron on Monday, 19 November, 2007 - 21:56

Hello Everyone, I would like to create an edit mode for a specific file type / extension = igs. However, the file type has the following as the first line: Because of this (I think), the syntax highlighting is taken from xml.xml, and ignores my igs.xml. Is there a way to force the file to use the igs.xml? Or will I have to modify the xml.xml? If I do need to modify the xml.xml, is it best to use a new ruleset vs modifying an existing one? Thanks in advance!

Read the Help Docs.

You need to read the help docs in regards to writing edit modes. Especially Chapter 11, "Installing Edit Modes".
You need to edit your catalog file, which should be in the .jedit directory under your home directory.

Mine is located in:
~/.jedit/modes

Essentially, you just need to add an entry there and have it point to your igs.xml file.
[code]

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE MODES SYSTEM "catalog.dtd">
<MODES>

    <MODE NAME="igs" FILE="igs.xml" FILE_NAME_GLOB="*.{igs}"/>
    
</MODES>

[/code]

You should put your igs.xml in the same directory.
