Gedit, Oberon-07 Syntax Highlighting

This is a set of files to provide Oberon-07 syntax highlighting in gedit (v3). It is inspired by work done by Mike Spivey of Oriel College, Oxford¹ and based on Gnome/GTK documentation.

Installation

Which GTK Source view package used in compiling your GEdit effects the path for where we install our customizations. The example below assumes gtksourceview-4.

NOTE: On Raspberry Pi OS (Debian 10, Buster) the GTK Source View package is version 3. GEdit didn't pickup the installation in $HOME/.local/share/gtksourceview-3/language-specs/ so I had to manually copy it to /usr/share/gtksourceview-3/language-specs/ to be available in the editor.

    git clone https://github.com/rsdoiel/gedit-Oberon-07
    cd gedit-Oberon-07
    mkdir -p $HOME/.local/share/gtksourceview-4/language-specs
    cp Oberon-07.lang $HOME/.local/share/gtksourceview-4/language-specs/
    mkdir -p $HOME/.local/share/mime/packages
    cp overrides.xml $HOME/.local/share/mime/packages/
