View source for Codeless Language Modules

Codeless Language Modules allow you to utilize BBEdit’s syntax coloring, language-aware folding, function navigation, and completion services while editing source files written in any language that BBEdit does not support natively.

BBEdit 11 includes language support (some combination of syntax coloring, function navigation, enhanced completion, live preview, or all of the above) for: ActionScript, ANSI C, C++, CSS, Fortran, Grep patterns, HTML, INI configuration, Java, JavaScript, JSON, JSP, Lasso, Lua, Make, Markdown, Object Pascal, Objective-C, Objective-C++, Perl, Perl POD, PHP, Python, Rez, Ruby, Ruby in HTML (ERB), SCSS, Setext, SQL (Generic, MS Transact, MySQL, PL/SQL, PostgreSQL), Strings, Tcl, TeX, Textile, Unix man page, Unix shell script, VBScript, VectorScript, Verilog HDL, VHDL, XML, and YAML.

Language module development information is available in the [http://www.barebones.com/support/develop/ BBEdit SDK], and on the [http://www.barebones.com/support/develop/clm.html Bare Bones web site].  Seth Dillingham has also written an [http://www.truerwords.net/articles/bbedit/codeless_language_module.html excellent guide on how to write your own CLM].
