Syntax specific settings

These are my syntax specific settings for working with GDL:

{
	"color_scheme": "Packages/GDL/GDL-dark.tmTheme",
	"rulers": [80,120]
}

---

Sublime Text works file based, so every setting has to be written out explicitly instead of having a GUI for this.
It makes ST very powerful but also might scare off new users.

To open the syntax specific preference file open a document where the syntax is set to GDL (see bottom right hand corner).
If still on ST 2 or older ST 3 builds go to Preferences > Settings – More > Syntax Specific – User.
On newer ST 3 builds the settings are located in Preferences > Settings – Syntax Specific.
The file should be empty when opened the first time. In any case I recommend to copy atleast the first "rule" into the document. This will set the color scheme so GDL syntax will be highlighted right.
Please note: There is also a "GDL-light" option available. If you are more the traditionell architect type and less a programmer, this might be the right for you. Of course you can point to you own scheme here also.

HELP I DON'T LIKE THE COLORS

The second option will create vertical rulers behind 80 and 120 chars. This acts only as a visual reminder not to create too long lines while coding.
