WML Syntax Highlighting for various editors index

Post by Forum Moderators Team »

Here you can find configuration files to enable WML syntax highlighting for various text editors :
  • Gedit (and other Gnome based editors): Has full WML support and partial inline lua support.
    wml.lang goes in /usr/share/gtksourceview-3.0/language-specs.
    cobalt-wml.xml goes in /usr/share/gtksourceview-3.0/styles.

Since the gedit stuff is pretty much outdated and won't work anymore, I made a new one for gtksourceview 3. Extract it into /home/you/.local/share/gtksourceview-3.0/language-specs/, and let me know if something doesn't work.
edit: I've already found something broken. I should really test my stuff more carefully before sharing. But it's ok now.

I experimented a little with syntax highlightning in Visual Studio Code for WML. It's not perfect, but still helpful, I guess... have fun with it!

I also experimented with syntax highlighting, for Sublime Text 3. There are some corner cases where it doesn't do well, but it's good enough that I use it for half a year now.

A screenshot and other information is on the page for Sublime's Add-ons.

To install it:
1) Add the "package control" package in Sublime Text. For that, got to
Menubar -> Tools -> Install Package Control
2) This can then be accessed from Menubar-> Tools -> Command Pallette;
"Package Control: Install Package" is the command, after that, search for WML or Wesnoth.
Try out the dark board theme.

GNU/Emacs on Linux, at least, handles scenario files as configuration files by default because of the cfg extension. It does a decent job of syntax highlighting out of the box:

I have not yet installed the lua module for Emacs.

I uploaded my own WML syntax for Sublime Text 3: https://github.com/Descacharrado/SublimeText-WML-Syntax

Installation is a bit trickier than Shiki's, but it features highlighting of keywords (mainline units and core tags) so if you type one of those wrong, you'll notice fast.
It all started when I speedran wesnoth...

I don't think it makes sense to hide most of the ones currently marked as "older" under a "Show" button like that; many of those are still in use
