Hi Christopher, Here is a minimal Codeless Language Module for an hypothetical "Christopher" language that demonstrates the use of color runs. Save it as Christopher.plist in ~/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Language Modules.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>BBEditDocumentType</key> <string>CodelessLanguageModule</string> <key>BBLMColorsSyntax</key> <true/> <key>BBLMIsCaseSensitive</key> <false/> <key>BBLMLanguageCode</key> <string>Chri</string> <key>BBLMLanguageDisplayName</key> <string>Christopher</string> <key>BBLMSuffixMap</key> <array> <dict> <key>BBLMLanguageSuffix</key> <string>.chris</string> </dict> </array> <key>BBLMRunColors</key> <dict> <key>com.christopher.preferred_color</key> <string>hsla(1.000, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000)</string> </dict> <key>BBLMRunNames</key> <dict> <key>com.christopher.preferred_color</key> <string>Christorpher's preferred color</string> </dict> <key>BBLMKeywordPatterns</key> <array> <dict> <key>RunKind</key> <string>com.christopher.preferred_color</string> <key>Pattern</key> <string>Chris(topher)?</string> </dict> </array> <key>Language Features</key> <dict> <key>Identifier and Keyword Character Class</key> <string>\p{L}\p{N}\-</string> </dict> </dict> </plist> After restarting BBEdit and selecting the "Christopher" language, any instances of "Chris" or "Christopher" should be colored in red. "Christopher's preferred color" is configurable in BBEdit > Preferences > Text Colors > Christopher > Christopher's preferred color.
