Note: This syntax highlighting file is now officially included in GtkSourceView since version 3.9.2.

Overview

gedit-mediawiki adds MediaWiki syntax highlighting to gedit, the default GNOME text editor.

Here's a screenshot:

Installation

• Download the archive of the latest version.

• Extract the archive.

• Copy the file mediawiki.lang in one of the following two locations (create the folder if it doesn't yet exist):

  • for gedit 2: ~/.local/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/
  • for gedit 3: ~/.local/share/gtksourceview-3.0/language-specs/

MediaWiki syntax highlighting will be added for the current user (so no need root privileges). The folder created by the extraction can be deleted after installation.

Uninstallation

Remove the file previously installed.

Usage

First of all, restart gedit if it's already running.

Choose syntax highlighting by going to View > Highlight Mode > Others and selecting MediaWiki.

The folder doc contains a demo file.
