Hello, I've written a syntax file for Mapserver's mapfile (.map) for the gedit text editor.
1. To get gnome/gedit to recognise a .map file and give it the correct syntax: http://geothings.net/thinkwhere/mapserver/map.lang copy it to /usr/share/mime/packages/ directory then run "sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mime" 2. The syntax file: http://geothings.net/thinkwhere/mapserver/mapserver.xml /usr/share/gtksourceview-1.0/language-specs (or gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs for Gutsy) then restart gedit and open a .map file. More fuller directions here (with links and screenshot) http://thinkwhere.wordpress.com/2008/02/06/mapserver-syntax-file-for-gedit/ Many thanks to the other syntax files for vim, textpad and notepad++ that I used to help write it. Tested on ubuntu Fiesty, let me know if it works, or doesn't. Thanks, Tim
