This project consists of two files that add support for the Ursa programming language to the GNOME Text Editor, Gedit, and other programs that use GtkSourceView.

Installation

Two files are provided:

• ursalang-ursa.xml defines the text/x-ursa MIME type
• ursa.lang defines syntax highlighting patterns for GtkSourceView, the library used by the GNOME Text Editor, Gedit, and other programs.

You need to identify the directory where GtkSourceView language files go. The following setting is likely to be correct for most systems at the time of writing. Note in particular that the version number “4” for GtkSourceview is likely to change with time!

GTK_LANG_DIR=$HOME/.local/share/gtksourceview-4/language-specs

Then, run the following command:

./install.sh
