bell syntax highlighting

Post by chrischandler » Thu Feb 16, 2023 5:37 pm

Previously I was using Atom as an external text editor for Max and particularly for writing bell scripts. There was a bell syntax highlighting package available through the Atom Package Manager.

Now that Atom has been sunset by the developers, I have switched to Sublime Text, where sadly there was no syntax highlighting for bell. However, I converted the Atom bell syntax highlighter package to a .tmLanguage file which is more universal for text editors. The .tmLanguage file is compatible with Sublime, and likely other editors which I don't use. If you are using Sublime, you can install this by going to the menu bar: Sublime Text > Preferences > Browse Packages. In the window that opens, drag and drop the .tmLanguage file into User folder.

If this bell syntax highlighter useful to anyone else, I have attached it here!
