Editor support

fdf.tmLanguage.json is the canonical grammar. The VS Code package includes it directly and package.py converts it to plist for Sublime Text, TextMate and JetBrains.

Asset Use
fdf-<version>.vsix VS Code
fdf.sublime-package Sublime Text
fdf.tmbundle.zip JetBrains IDEs and TextMate
fdf.tmLanguage.json Tools that load TextMate JSON directly

VS Code reads language-configuration.json directly. package.py converts its comment and indentation rules into .tmPreferences for the plist packages. JetBrains documents syntax highlighting only, so its handling of those preferences is untested.

Installing

Editor Install
VS Code Run code --install-extension fdf-<version>.vsix
Sublime Text Open Preferences > Browse Packages, move up to the data directory and copy fdf.sublime-package into its Installed Packages directory
JetBrains Open Settings > Editor > TextMate Bundles and add the unpacked fdf.tmbundle directory
TextMate Unzip the asset and double click fdf.tmbundle

Status

The grammar is best effort and may disagree with the parser. Use fdf-validate to check files.

Building the packages

python3 editors/package.py --version 0.2.0 --out dist
(cd editors && npx --yes @vscode/vsce@3.9.2 package --out ../dist/fdf-0.2.0.vsix)
python3 editors/verify.py dist 0.2.0

package.json carries the version and the release workflow refuses to publish when it disagrees with the release version.
