BBEdit Ruby & Rails Syntax Module available

[Andrew Otwell]

I've made a Ruby & Rails syntax coloring module for BBEdit. This is a
"Codeless Language Module", so it will only work with BBEdit 8+. It's
basically a giant list of Ruby and Rails keywords, method names, and
so on. It's both Ruby and Rails because BBedit only lets you
associate a file type with one language module.

The file is available here:
http://www.heyotwell.com/work/misc/Ruby.plist (42k plist file)

To use it, just drop it into ~/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/
Language Modules and restart BBEdit.

Note: If you're already using the old Ruby plugin BareBones provides
a link to on their site, you'll have to get rid of it; again, only
one language definition can be associated with Ruby files. I find
that that plugin (from 2001), is badly out of date and does a
terrible job coloring Ruby syntax anyway...it can't even color
comments properly.

Also note: there's one big known issue with Codeless Language
Modules: BBEdit isn't smart enough to parse Ruby-style functions,
especially those with if/else/end clauses. So, some functions don't
correctly get added to BBEdit's function pop-up. (Workaround: stop
writing functions with if/else/end clauses!) Please ask BareBones to
add better support for Ruby-style function definitions in CLMs!

Any improvements or additions would be great. I'll try to keep this
up-to-date with new versions of Rails.

Best,

Andrew

For Linux/Unix/Windows users, I highly recommend jEdit with the Ruby,
Project view, Sidekick, Tasklist, and JTidy plugins. It's not exactly
a speed demon since it's written in Java, but it is one of the best
editors I have used for a long time. Ruby docs and code completion for
the standard libraries is included inside the IDE.

Is there some kind of svn integration for jedit ?

I am currently using eclipse + RDT (rubyeclipse) + svnclipse.

I have some issues with RDT (devel seems stalled at the momen), but I
can't really live without the synchronize perspective in eclipse so I
haven't had enough incentive to move at the moment, but I would love
to have the opportunity

There is an svn-commit mode for jEdit 4.2 but no plugin seems to be in
development for more integration.

I like Crimson Editor on Windows. Its free and has a nice directory
browser similar to TextMate. I hacked the html and ruby language specs
together to get an rhtml spec, if anyone is interested in it let me
know.

I've put my rhtml spec for crimson editor in the "Syntax Files" section
of crimsoneditor.com. The subject line is "RHTML Syntax File", in case
it's not on the front page anymore (easier to search for that line).

I'd love to check out the language specs that you have for Crimson
Editor. I'm stuck using Windows at work and just haven't found
anything to "fit" me yet for doing Rails development.
