FAQ - How do I enable syntax highlighting for all .rc files?

By default this bundle will enable highlighting for suite.rc and .cylc files (plus a few others), but not all .rc files. However, you can add your own file associations:

Once you’ve downloaded the repository, open the Syntaxes/cylc.tmLanguage file and add <string>rc</string> under the fileTypes key, like this:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
 <plist version="1.0">
 <dict>
        <key>fileTypes</key>
        <array>
                <string>suite.rc</string>
                <string>cylc</string>
+               <string>rc</string>
        </array>
...

You will probably have to restart the editor for this to take effect.

Note: you can add exact matches (e.g. suite.rc.processed) OR extensions without the dot (e.g. rc), but you cannot use wildcards (e.g. * won’t work).

Building

This bundle is built from the
Cylc TextMate grammar.

The bundle needs to be re-built when the grammar is updated. This is done by
running build.rb.

Tue builder requires the
plist gem.

How to Build A Bundle From Scratch

Bundles can be created via the TextMate app (Mac OS only).

The bundle editor appears to have disappeared in version 2, these steps apply
to TextMate 1.5:

1. Open TextMate.
2. Open the bundle editor via the bundle menu.
3. Create a new bundle.
4. Within that bundle create a new language.
5. Close the bundle editor.
6. Navigate to /Users/$USER/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/.

You now have a blank bundle. We need the bundle for two things:

1. The info.plist file (which we will keep).
2. The uuid in the language file (which we will use in the build process).
