JOE Syntax Highlighting
=======================
This directory mainly contains *improved and completely new* JOE syntax files
fixing bugs in the original files and adding support for new languages.
Using
-----
### *.jsf
To enable the .jsf files in this repository they need to appear in JOEs
*syntax* directory. This is likely to be */usr/share/joe/syntax* when using
Debian and APT or */usr/local/Cellar/joe/3.7/share/joe/syntax* when using brew
on Mac OS X. You may download the
[latest jsf-bundle](https://github.com/downloads/cmur2/joe-syntax/jsf-bundle_2.tar)
and place it's contents into the *syntax* directory (Note: this bundle might
be outdated compared to the repository's state).
A maybe better way to achieve this is to clone this repository somewhere
onto your hard disk and establish symlinks to all jsf files in the *syntax*
directory.
### ftyperc (only needed to enable new languages)
To enable the enhanced *ftyperc* from this repository to gain syntax
highlighting support for new languages without overwriting
*/etc/joe/ftyperc*, you may place the modified one in *~/.joe/* as
*~/.joe/ftyperc*.
How JOE syntax highlighting works
---------------------------------
See [HowItWorks.md](https://github.com/cmur2/joe-syntax/blob/master/HowItWorks.md)
which is a reworked version of the header of
[c.jsf](http://joe-editor.hg.sourceforge.net/hgweb/joe-editor/joe-editor/file/tip/syntax/c.jsf.in).
Another good resource might be
[jsf.jsf](http://joe-editor.hg.sourceforge.net/hgweb/joe-editor/joe-editor/file/tip/syntax/jsf.jsf.in).
