Syntax highlighting in editors ?

[DjebbZ]

May not be the best palce to ask, but do you guys have syntax highlighting of fbp files in your favorite editors ? I'm using Sublime Text (2/3) and couldn't find an official fbp syntax highlighter. Would make life easier (although it's not top-priority and could be something made by the community).

@bergie, who was it that made progress with this?

Here is a vim FBP highlighter: https://github.com/ninegrid/vim-fbp

I started on a syntax definition last night. It's a .tmLanguage so it should work with TextMate, Sublime, and Atom.

I'm putting some finishing touches to it and then going to figure out how to package it up.

Some screenshots from Sublime Text with the Tomorrow Night Eighties theme:

The current version is slightly different to the above screenshots and also has support for exporting ports (including legacy exports).

For reference:

• TextMate bundle
• Pull request for Sublime Package Control: Add FBP.tmbundle sublimehq/package_control_channel#3234
• Atom package

For anyone looking at the source code - the tmLanguage format is pretty cryptic, and isn't as sophisticated as something like PEG.js, so there's likely a better way to achieve what I've done so far. That said, it should work as expected.

If anyone has feedback or runs into problems, please create an issue for the .tmbundle since that's the source for everything else.
