How to get proper text-color-highlighting for Fortran 90 in Sublime Text 2

fortranfortran90sublimetext2

There are a couple of links on sublime forum, on how to get Sublime Text 2 to work with Fortran 90 here http://www.sublimetext.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=770, but they don't quite seem to work as the comment identifier "!" is not treated well.

I quickly assembled a solution using the original suggested Punchcard.tmLanguage file and modifying the first block in dictionary to treat "!" as comment (available here: https://gist.github.com/4209445).

Sublime Text 2 is a great text editor and having it support Fortran might be helpful for many people in Theoretical physics and Finance. So if anyone knows a better solution, please let me know.

Thanks!

The plugin at the fortran.tmBundle works for me. I created a Fortran subfolder in Packages and put all the files in the tmBundle there (not just the .tmLanguage files). It selects Fortran - Punchcard as the default type for .for and Fortran - Modern for .f90 files. These both treat ! just fine on my system - what problem are you having?

Set default syntax to different filetype in Sublime Text 2

In the current version of Sublime Text 2 (Build: 2139), you can set the syntax for all files of a certain file extension using an option in the menu bar. Open a file with the extension you want to set a default for and navigate through the following menus: View -> Syntax -> Open all with current extension as... ->[your syntax choice].

Updated 2012-06-28: Recent builds of Sublime Text 2 (at least since Build 2181) have allowed the syntax to be set by clicking the current syntax type in the lower right corner of the window. This will open the syntax selection menu with the option to Open all with current extension as... at the top of the menu.

Updated 2016-04-19: As of now, this also works for Sublime Text 3.

Html – How to reformat HTML code using Sublime Text 2

You don't need any plugins to do this. Just select all lines (CTRL+A) and then from the menu select Edit → Line → Reindent. This will work if your file is saved with an extension that contains HTML like .html or .php.

If you do this often, you may find this key mapping useful:

{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+r"], "command": "reindent" , "args": { "single_line": false } }

If your file is not saved (e.g. you just pasted in a snippet to a new window), you can manually set the language for indentation by selecting the menu View → Syntax → language of choice before selecting the reindent option.
