However i ran into a little problem.Maybe you would have a spare minute to help me.
I don't have a rails.xml file in /usr/share/mime/packages/ . Is there somethig wrong with my rails installation? and where could i get the rails.xml file u talked about?
Many thx in advance :)

Other way is probably removing the section for matlab, but I didn't test it. Anyway do not forget to update-mime-database /usr/share/mime in the end. gEdit treats html.erb files started with <% as matlab scripts because of this code


  <magic priority="10">

Adding


  <magic priority="20"&gt
   <match value="%" type="string" offset="0"/>
 </magic>

into .htm.erb section of my /usr/share/mime/packages/rails.xml solved the problem for myself.

Gedit treats some of my .erb files as html-like, but others it treats like matlab files [MIME type = "MATLAB script/function (text/x-matlab)]. I played around with the .lang files and the /usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml file, but I couldn't figure out what I need to tweak. Any suggestions?

The other lightweight text editors that I have tried all have the same limitation. I can get ruby highlighting, and html highlighting, but for whatever reason erb is beyond the capabilities of the editor. Which is silly because php enjoys decent html/php syntax highlighting in lots of editors, and erb is essentially the same idea. You'd think, after 4 years of rhtml you would be able to find a text editor with support for it. this just tells gedit to use html highlights on erb/rhtml files. that is only half of correct syntax highlighting for embedded ruby files.

I'm actually only using Linux as a desktop OS until I get an insurance refund to buy another Mac. Your repository idea does sound worthwhile, maybe you should set up a git repository somewhere? Take care, thanks for commenting. Joslyn, I haven’t written any snippets yet. I’m actually only using Linux as a desktop OS until I get an insurance refund to buy another Mac.

My partner has been writing up quite a few for himself as he prefers doing development work in a Linux environment. I had a set I used for awhile until I switched over to Mac/Textmate. I'm wondering if it would be beneficial to folks if we hosted a repository for gedit snippets similar to the collaboration going on with the TextMate bundle? Do you think there is enough users out there to make it worthwhile? Damien, do you happen to have a set of snippets you’ve created?
