[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Since the gedit stuff is pretty much outdated and won't work anymore, I made a new one for gtksourceview 3.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.

Here is my attempt to write syntax file for AkelPad, another good editor for Windows, and my edition of Notepad++ file.

I also have a gedit WML syntax highlighter here.

Here is another Notepad++ syntax highlighter. viewtopic.php?f=21&t=44392

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.

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.

[Descacharrado]

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.

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

And why is Sublime not it the list?
