Stefano D’Archino told us about his new creation: the txt2tags language file for gedit.
His instructions follows:
- Put the file in /usr/share/gtksourceview-1.0/language-spec
- Adjust the colors for the syntax in Gedit preferences
Zoom.Quiet, a long time txt2tags user, gave us a nice screenshot of his gedit using this file:
FYI: gedit is the official text editor of the GNOME desktop environment. I know you already knew that, but… You know :)

If you do not have super user rights or want to enable syntax highlighting just for yourself, then copy the .lang-file to
~/.gnome2/gtksourceview-1.0/language-specs/
.
It’s explained here: http://textmethod.com/wiki/ReStructuredTextToolsForGedit
You also can create a new mime-type. Check out my howto:

oops. wrong link. this one’s working now:

Current Gedit uses gtksourceview 2.x, which luckly is backwards compatible with version 1.x language specifications like this one.
Under openSUSE 11.1 the correct path is: /usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/
The file “txt2tags-gedit.lang” must by put inside of thie folder. It is necessary super user rights.
Close gedit and reopen with it any *.t2t file. The syntax highlighting is nice. Good job!
