gedit as LSL offline Editor

gedit is the official text editor of the GNOME desktop environment.
While aiming at simplicity and ease of use, gedit is a powerful general purpose text editor.

LSL Syntax Highlighting

For gtksourceview2.0

I made a new lsl.lang file for gtksourceview2.0 which you can find here

To install, just extract "lsl.lang" to: [Gnome Directory]/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs

It is for me: /usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs
and restart gedit

Gedit lsl highlight.jpg
For gtksourceview1.0

This is an older lsl.lang file orginaly created by Nargus Asturias via the Scripting Tips forum updated by adammarker.org/shill/ and me ^.~

To install, just extract "lsl.lang" to: [Gnome Directory]/gtksourceview-1.0/language-specs
It is for me: /usr/share/gtksourceview-1.0/language-specs
and restart gedit.

Syntax Check

A simple syntax checker for gedit based on lslint

Download lslint for Linux from w-hat or via this direct link.
Extract lslint anywhere and make it executable (chmod 750 lslint or right click on the file properties/permissions).

Now open gedit click edit/preferences/plugins and activate "external tools".
Select "configure plugin".
In the new window click new and name it like LSLint or "LSL Syntax".

Insert in the commands text area now:

#!/bin/sh

[path to lslint]/lslint $GEDIT_CURRENT_DOCUMENT_NAME

for me it is: ~/lslint $GEDIT_CURRENT_DOCUMENT_NAME (home)

Select for: Input: Nothing
Output: Display in bottom pane
Applicability: All documents

Now click close ^.~

Open a new document, insert a LSL script and save it (you must always save before checking the syntax. Otherwise lslint will produce an error).
Click Tools and select "LSLint" or however you named it.
