Syntax highlighting for Rails 2 files

Submitted by mamboze on Saturday, 10 May, 2008 - 04:04

Hi,
I'm editing a Rails 2.0.2 app and I find that files with the .erb extension do not show any syntax highlighting. I'm using jEdit 4.3 pre10 with Java 1.6.0_03 on a Ubuntu Gutsy box.

What should I do to get some highlighting up and running?

Thnx in advance

Roy

This should be a very easy fi

This should be a very easy fix. Please post this in the mailing lists or make a tracker item for it on the SourceForge site.

In the mean time, you could update your catalog file to include the .erb files as ruby.

Read the documentation on Installing Edit Modes:
http://jedit.org/users-guide/installing-modes.html

Then add an entry like this:

<MODE NAME="ruby" FILE="ruby.xml"
FILE_NAME_GLOB="*.{rb,rbw,erb}"
FIRST_LINE_GLOB="#!*/*ruby*" />

Hope that helps.
