Please help!

I am trying to install a simple language module, but lack the xcode
developer skills to implement a complete solution. I have a plist file
that captures all the unique features of my source files, but even
though I installed it in ~/library/applications/application support/
language modules, no recognition in the "Installed Languages" menu.

Can some Wiseman, please, detail the 4-5 cardinal steps to installing
this?

Cheers,
David

Start by making sure the path is:

~/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Language\ Modules

Thanks, but does that backslash belong there, after "Language"?

Ahh, sorry, that is only needed if you need to paste into Terminal, but then you need one after Application as well… I removed that.. ;-)

Thanks for the clarification, Jakob.
Yes, the two plist files are sitting in that directory, but no
acknowledgment inside BBEdit. I should expect to see them pop up in
the list from Preferences/Languages/Installed Languages, correct?
Otherwise...

Cheers,
David
