Textmate Language Definition

This directory contains a TextMate bundle which can be used in various editors such as TextMate, Atom, or the IntelliJ family for syntax highlighting of Carbon source files.

If you are using TextMate, see the documentation on how to install TextMate bundles. Clone the repository with Git and symlink/copy the utils/textmate directory to any of the paths TextMate will search through (you can find these paths in the TextMate documentation above).

IntelliJ

If you are using IntelliJ or a IntelliJ Platform product, you can find documentation on how to install TextMate bundles in IntelliJ. Clone the repository with Git and open the utils/textmate directory inside the IntelliJ TextMate Bundle window.

Atom

If you are using Atom, you can convert the bundle to an Atom-compatible one. See the Atom documentation on how to do that.

Other

For other editors that support TextMate bundles you can consult your editors documentation to see how to use the bundle.

Samples

Samples/ holds Carbon sources that exercise the grammar, each with an SVG rendering of how this bundle highlights it. Some deliberately contain invalid code, to show that highlighting stays sensible while something is being typed.

The renderings are generated, not screenshotted, so they always reflect the grammar in this repository. Regenerate them in the same commit as any change to the grammar, so a reviewer can see what the change does to real code:

utils/textmate/render_sample.py utils/textmate/Samples/*.carbon
