Re: [gedit-list] syntax highlighting for Igor Pro

[Alex Bartel <ac528 cam ac uk>]

Dear Durand, you can create syntax highlighting rules for any language by 
creating an XML file with the appropriate name. Go to 
/usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/ (at least that's where I have 
to go on my machine) or search for files which end with .lang and go into 
their folder. There you can create your own file, presumably call it 
something like igor_pro.lang and specify the highlighting rules. The 
easiest way to do this is to open an existing .lang file and to edit that 
accordingly. I don't know Igor Pro, but for example the rules for GAP, a 
mathematics package, are shipped with gedit, so you can try to take that as 
a template. Finally, this post might be helpful to get you started:
