Freemarker syntax highlighting for TextPad

Simon Schoeters <p>At work we use <a href="http://www.textpad.com/" title="A text editor for Windows" class="ext">TextPad</a> as a general purpose text editor for Windows. It's not even close to <a href="http://macromates.com/" title="The missing editor for Mac OS X" class="ext">TextMate</a> on Mac OS X but it's a welcome help in the Notepad world.</p> <p>TextPad uses syntax definition files for syntax highlighting. As I'm writing lots of <a href="http://freemarker.org/" title="A Java templating engine library" class="ext">Freemarker</a> template files for the moment I could use some color coding to make my life easier. Feel free to download the syntax file if you need some color in your Freemarker templates.</p> <h3>Installation</h3> <ol> <li>Download the Freemarker <a href="http://gist.github.com/279096" title="A Freemarker syntax definition file for TextPad">syntax definition file</a> (<a href="http://www.textpad.com/add-ons/files/syntax/freemarker.zip" title="Mirror on the official TextPad website" class="ext">mirror</a>).</li> <li>Save the file in the ‘Samples’ subfolder in your TextPad installation folder.</li> <li>Open TextPad and choose ‘Configure → New Document Class...’.</li> <li>Specify a name for the class and the extension (*.ftl in our case) and</li> <li>enable syntax definition highlighting and choose the freemarker.syn from the drop down list.</li> </ol> <p>If you now open a new Freemarker template file you should see it nicely color coded.</p>
