Help configuring Sublime

#1

Hi Guys,

I’m a new user of Sublime, and so far I’m in love. It looks great, it’s lightweight, and it does a lot of good stuff. But I need some help with configuring it. I’m an amateur writing a text game in a very strange syntax (Twine/Sugarcube), and I’m hoping to adjust the editor to fit my needs. I’ll start with showing you an example of my code:

<<events>>

<<EVENT "str=10">>
<<chunks>>
<<media "test.gif">>
<p>You hear knocking to the door.</p>
<<dial "player" "Yes?">>
<<dial "monster" "Boo!">>
<<btn>>
<<chunk>>
<p>You open the doors.</p>
<<media "monster.gif">>
<<btn $curLoc null "fear+1">>
<</chunks>>

<<EVENT "str=15">>
<<chunks>>
<<btn "#exit">>
<</chunks>>

<</events>>

So as you can see it’s a mix of HTML and something else. Please ignore the fact that it’s probably written in a lame way or something - as said, I’m an amateur. As for the things that I was hoping Sublime could do:

  1. Folding of sections. I’ve managed to install SyntaxFold and configure it so that it hides the content of “chunks” - which is what I needed - but is there any way to make it happen as a default when I open the file, or when I paste the contents of the file (because Twine doesn’t have a proper code editor, I’m copying/pasting stuff from there to Sublime and then back). Also, is there any way to just have a button next to a foldable section that folds the section (I know there’s a little tic when the section is already folded, but I need a tick when it’s unfolded too).

  2. How to make Sublime recognize the code as HTML and load it as soon as I paste the code in. Or is there any way to just set HTML as default?

  3. How to modify the HTML syntax, change the quote highlighting to something less intrusive, and add a separate color highliting to all the stuff between << and >>, which is a default Twine syntax?

Thank you!

Ok, I’ve installed it. Now I have colored syntax for the part that I was missing, but the part that I had colored before (HTML) is now missing… So - how to combine HTML + Twee into one syntax?
