Apache Conf file syntax definition

[GreyWyvern]

Here's another syntax highlighting package I'm working on, this one for Apache Conf files, which will also work for .htaccess, .htpasswd, and .htgroups files.

There's still a lot of work to do on this one to cover everything. I'm testing the waters to see if there is much interest

Thanks for this. While I don't normally care that I've never had highlighting for apache files, this is definetly nice. For anyone intrested, rename the download to something like "apache-conf-filetype.sublime-package" and let it install. after restart the highlighting will be available.

Would be nice if this auto-associated itself to .htaccess and other files that are definetly apache config.

I found these sites helpful:

Existing language syntaxes: http://svn.textmate.org/trunk/Bundles/
Documentation on creating syntax highlighting: http://manual.macromates.com/en/language_grammars

I ended up browsing through some existing tmLanguage files and patching something together from them.

Micropatch so it supports comments that have spacing in front of them.

Thanks for that! I've just installed it, very helpful indeed.

I've seen that you have listed .htaccess, .htpasswd etc as associated extensions, but it doesn't seem to be working. It's working for the .conf extension, though.

My guess is that the file association mechanism gets confused if the file name consists of nothing but the extension, as in ".htaccess". Does anyone know a workaround?

Cheers,

Michael

You can customize this plugin: http://pastie.org/private/kz8gtts0cjcvkec0d4quqa

Just add something like:

Code: Select all

if name in [".htaccess", ".htpasswd"]:
   setSyntax(view, "ApacheConf")

Works. Excellent! Thanks!

When Sublime Text encounters a file name like ".htaccess", it concludes that the file has no extension, and that it's name is ".htaccess".

The fileTypes entry in tmLanguage files, at least as interpreted by Sublime Text, can contain either extensions (without the dot) or full filenames (e.g., 'Makefile'). To have it pick up .htaccess files, you should just need to ensure that ".htaccess" is included in the list with the leading dot.

Excellent, I thought it would be something simple like that. Here is an updated file that includes the dots and also the fix from radiosilence for comments with spaces in front of them.
