# text/gemini language spec for GtkSourceView

Syntax highlighting of text/gemini for gedit, GNOME Builder, and other apps that use GtkSourceView.

## Background

text/gemini is a hypertext format, the native text format of the Gemini internet protocol.
=> https://gemini.circumlunar.space/

This language spec describes the text/gemini syntax, in a format understood by GtkSourceView (versions 2, 3 and 4), so that apps using GtkSourceView can highlight text/gemini files.

The syntax described here follows Project Gemini Speculative specification v0.14.1, June 15th 2020.

## Install it

Put the gemini.lang file in the right folder.

For flatpak apps, e.g. gedit and GNOME Builder:
* ~/.var/app/org.gnome.gedit/data/gtksourceview-4/language-specs/
* ~/.var/app/org.gnome.Builder/data/gtksourceview-4/language-specs/

For non-flatpak apps that use GtkSourceView:
* ~/.local/share/gtksourceview-4/language-specs/
* ~/.local/share/gtksourceview-3.0/language-specs/
* ~/.local/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/

## Use it

Open a file whose filename ends in ".gemini" or ".gmi".

You can change the filenames this spec targets by editing the spec — it's a pretty readable format.
