Atom.io package to set syntax mode based on comment string (-- mode: MODE --).
Automatically sets the syntax highlighting mode when Atom can't properly guess it.
Somewhere in the file, create a comment of this form:
# -*- mode: NAME -*-
When the file is opened, the syntax will be set to NAME
, e.g. CoffeeScript
, bash
, etc... The matching is exact and case sensitive, caveat emptor.
