2 Syntaxes on same file with SublimeText 3

[Mick4ftv]

Hello,

I am a new user of ST3, and despite lots of queries I haven’t find solution for this question.
What is the process to have 2 différents syntaxes on the same file ?
For instance : line 1 to 100 : syntax “Plain Text” and line 101 to 200 : “Swift” …

Thanks in advance for your help.

1 to 100 : syntax “Plain Text” and line 101 to 200 :

You cannot have. Unless you use same preprocessor which process your input file with 2 syntaxes and generated 2 separate files.

This is a preprocessor I know of: (it probably does not do what you would like)

YAML Macros 2.0: Extend existing syntaxes with new functionality

A lot of users have asked how to extend an existing syntax with new functionality. Unfortunately, this has always required copying the entire syntax to modify it, which is a hassle and an impediment to maintenance. In order to facilitate this common case, I've added to YAML Macros a macro library that makes extending an existing syntax a piece of cake. To demonstrate this, here is a complete implementation of JSX on top of the built-in JavaScript syntax*: %YAML 1.2 %TAG ! tag:yaml-macros:YA…

depending on your actual use case, your best bet could be to use the Markdown syntax and use GFM code fences like:

~~~
plain text
...
line 99
~~~
~~~swift
lines 101-200
~~~

but ofc you’ll need to tweak the Markdown syntax definition to support Swift code blocks
