Gedit support

The gedit editor is included in gnome.

Adding Alore syntax highlighting

Installation:

1. Download files alore.lang and alore.xml.

2. Install the files (as root):

   • Determine where to store language spec:

     $ locate gtksourceview | grep 'specs$'
     

   • Copy language spec (replace directory with the one shown above):

     $ cp alore.lang /usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/
     

   • Copy mime description:

     $ cp alore.xml /usr/share/mime/packages/
     

   • Update mime database:

     $ update-mime-database /usr/share/mime
     

   Now gedit should be able to automatically color Alore files. You can also select Alore syntax highlight manually from the menu:

   View > Highlight mode > Sources > Alore
   

Compatibility:

• Tried with gedit and gtksourceview that comes with ubuntu 10.04.
• This also allows syntax highlighting in the meld graphical diff program.
