Out of Maintenance

Hi, unfortunately I stopped maintaining this shortly after creating it. I use vim almost exclusively now, and lately there has not been much new g code to read.

gcode-syntax-highlighting's Issues

Please help me understand how to use and modify these files

Please teach me and give me some quick pointers to be able to modify your package myself.

It's a very small package, with just 2 files, but I have some questions:

1. Why 2 duplicate files in different formats? GcodeSyntaxHighlightingDef.tmLanguage is XML and GcodeSyntaxHighlightingDef.YAML-tmLanguage is YAML, but they contain the same data! Why? Can I delete one?
2. Where are the colors actually set? How do you choose names and things?
3. How do you package it up and put it in the package control manager, here?

I'd really appreciate some help on this and I can modify some things in the package myself.

Whole commented lines in green

It is a bit difficult to distinguish commented lines (starting with semicolon) from live lines.
I suggest that the commented lines are in one one color that differs from all the other colors. Preferably green. The fact that M-commands are highlighted in in commented lines are bit confusing.

Add .gcode to file format list

@gesslertell:

@the_machinist_ Hey I love to use your Sublime-Text GCode Syntax highlighter.. But I seem to be unable to add a ".gcode" to the auto select

Comments can start with semicolons

.gcode files generated by Cura use ; to denote a comment. For example:

Because these comments are not recognised, the output renders as:

Not only are they harder to differentiate by colour, but the content within the comments is subject to highlighting.
