Personalize color rules for plain text

#1

Dear community,

I would like to create my own color rules for plain text.

Context:
I’m using Sublime text for my To-Do lists. It’s just brilliant due to indentation, text folding etc. However the plan color text could be much easier to read if there would be some automatic coloring.

Description:
I would like for brackets for example to automatically be colored dark blue. Different level of indents to have different tones of grey colors.

Question:
Is there any way I can create a custom coloring set of rules? Just like for a programming language?

Thank you for your support guys! =)

Cheers,
Oscar.

I use the MarkdownEditing package for exactly this. Its default color scheme is really close to just plain rendered markdown, and I have some tweaks which make it almost identical to the way that github would render it if pasted into a gist. It’s by far the best tool for the job I’ve ever found.

Did you try PlainTasks. It offers all you need for TODO handling.

I love that tool.

  1. If not yet done, you can install Package Control from your main menu / Tools / Install Package Control.
  2. Open Package Control via command pallet
  3. Type MarkdownEditing and hit enter to install it.

Hi there, yes I did thank you =)

However now when writing on a .md file, the text keeps with a flat color. And when I open the README.md from the installation package (when downloaded from github but didn’t use at the end) it looks nicely colored.

How to make it look like this?

MarkdownEditing applies its own color schemes whenever a md-file is opened or created in order to mimic the final results as close as possible.

If you create a new file and save it with .md extension, the color scheme should change to what it would be when opening any existing markdown file.

You need to save a file or apply the syntax manually by running Set Syntax: Markdown.
