Safely override php.xml
Submitted by kendowns on Wednesday, 23 July, 2008 - 13:35
Hello!

I have added a custom rule to /usr/jedit/modes/php.xml so that certain heredoc blocks are delegated to Javascript syntax coloring. I would like to distribute this change to users of my framework, but it does not seem like the Right Thing to directly modify this file.

Is there a defined way to add things to these default syntax coloring files without directly modifying the original file? Can I put a copy of it in my ./jedit/modes file? Is there some other mechanism for doing this?

TIA...

mode file

There are a few things that can be modified via the "Global Options -> Editing" dialog (this results in property items written to the properties file).

But most changes have to be done by editing the mode file.

A mode file can be placed in the user's settings directory (~\modes) and has then to be registered in the ~\modes\catalog file. A file in the user-specific catalog should override a file with the same name in the system catalog (see User's Guide ).

Robert, thanks much, I think that will do it. I've made up some custom syntax files for my own YAML formats, and am familiar with the steps you mention, so I think I can take it from here.

Thanks gain.
