Sublime Text 3 Syntax Highlight for *.tid files

[Roma Hicks]

I didn't actually look to see if anyone has already done this, but getting back to work on my TW5 projects I decide I was tired of looking at white, walls of tiddler text.  Some of my macros can be huge and some colour makes it easier to read.  So a spent the afternoon hacking a syntax file for Sublime Text 3. 

It is based off the XML, not HTML syntax.  There is still some regex cruft in the source.  I based syntax scopes off those found in the Monokai colour theme; other themes that I used appeared acceptable.  

Try it out.  I won't spend a lot of time maintaining it other than to keep it working, but I will gladly accept any improvements through pulls.  If someone has a more mature, simlar project let me know!

Hi Roma,

Really cool! Can you be a little less restrictive when it comes to tiddler fields?

Perhaps:

<string>Tiddler field names.</string>
<key>match</key>
<string>^[\$\-\_\w]+\:</string>

Best wishes,

Tobias.

Sure, I wasn't sure what naming restrictions there were on fields off-hand and I am not quite as proficient at regular expressions as I would like to get all cases.  Thanks.  Well get this pushed later today.

Hi Roma,

I have shied away from regex for a long time, as well ...things like http://regexper.com (thanks Jeremy) and knowing the right terms, e.g. "quantifiers" and "characters" help finding the right details, if only:
