Gedit SPICE Syntax Highlighting

SPICE (Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis) syntax highlighting for Gedit (GtkSourceView).

Installation

To install a new language syntax file you must copy the spice.lang file to the appropriate directory and restart any applications that uses GtkSourceView, then you should automatically get the SPICE highlighting when opening a supported file.

The appropriate directory to copy the spice.lang file depends on the version of GTK+ used by the application.

• For Pluma, older versions of Gedit and Geany: /usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/ or ~/.local/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/
• For Xed and newer versions of Gedit: /usr/share/gtksourceview-3.0/language-specs/ or ~/.local/share/gtksourceview-3.0/language-specs/ or /usr/share/gtksourceview-4/language-specs/ or ~/.local/share/gtksourceview-4/language-specs/

Compatibility

This language definition file uses version 2.0 of the format specification, so it should be compatible with both GTK+ 2 and GTK+ 3 GtkSourceView, but all the testing was done in Pluma 1.12.2 (GTK+ 2).
