Syntax Coloring for AsciiDoc in BBEdit

In favour for the all new application adoc Studio the active development of this CLM has been stopped.

Introduction

This is a BBEdit Codeless Language Module that provides good highlighting for asciidoc files with a in BBEdit (or the more basic, but free, TextWrangler).

We are using this Language Module with BBEdit at ProjectWizards to write the documentation for Merlin Project. Here you can see one example.

Installation

Copy AsciiDoc.plist into ~/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Language Modules/. If no such folder exists, you may create it.

Testing with Marked (version 2)

I have written this AppleScript snippet to display the current window of BBEdit in Marked 2 and copied the script to ~/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Scripts/. If no such folder exists, you may create it.

	try
		tell application "BBEdit"
			set myFile to get file of front document of window 1
		end tell

		tell application "Marked"
			activate (open myFile)
		end tell
	end try

In case you have issues getting Marked running with AsciiDoctor please check this page: https://gist.github.com/mojavelinux/6324279
