Hey everyone... as per Nick's suggestion in one of the threads below I downloaded Crimson editor with the impression that it would color and recognize lua syntax, but I downloaded the latest release and it didn't have Lua as a syntax option. I checked the home page and looked through the versions, and only the 3.50 version said straight out that it supported Lua syntax, so I downloaded that and it's still not an option. Am I missing something? If it's possible to get it to recognize lua syntax and color it for me, let me know?
If it isn't possible, does anyone have a suggestion on an editor that will do this for me? Thanks in advance!
Is this for .lua files?
I don't think I did anything special, however look at this thread:
http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/bbshowpost.php?id=6529
In there I describe how to add the MUSHclient function names as keywords so they are coloured too, however I thought Crimson Editor came with the Lua file.
I am using Crimson Editor 3.70, which I think is the current one from the web site.
It may be supported, but in my noobishness I probably overlooked it. I'm checking out that thread now. I looked under Document >> Syntax and it wasn't there... is there somewhere I should look for it? I tried autorecognize and it didn't seem to work.
I use Crimson Editor too and it colors the syntax for Lua files just fine as long as the file extention is ".lua" If the file is created as a new file it won't color the syntax until it's been saved as a ".lua" file.
Heh, well that certainly worked! I need some lessons on observation it appears. Thanks!
