Re: [gedit-list] gedit syntax highlighting: adding a .lang file

[John Pye <john pye student unsw edu au>]

Maybe it would be worth checking that it works when you drop it in 
/usr/share/gtk-sourceview-1.0/language-specs/*.lang. Assuming you have 
root access. This works for me with my file, at
https://pse.cheme.cmu.edu/svn-view/ascend/code/trunk/pygtk/interface/ascend.lang?view=markup

Note that your file won't automatically be recognised by gedit unless 
you have the mime type registered as well, with a *.desktop file, I 
think it is. You will have to specify the highlighting mode manually for 
your file unless you have the *.desktop file.
