Robby on Rails: Modifying the joe ruby syntax colorsthoughts.sort_by{|t| t[:topic]}.collect tag:www.robbyonrails.com,2005:TypoTypo2006-09-05T22:12:46-04:00Robby Russellurn:uuid:76a534f2f667d5ccc837d391408398332005-04-24T18:43:24-04:002006-09-05T22:12:46-04:00Modifying the joe ruby syntax colors<p>Okay, as I haven’t quite figured out how to change the background colors of the osx terminal and I was attempting to use the syntax highlighting file that I posted earlier (some of the text in .rb files was not showing as the colors matched the background).</p>
<p>So, what I did was edit the ruby syntax file and add a few changes (color and new configurations). I decided to use the emacs rb highlighting as a base for what I wanted the joe highlighting to look like.</p>
<p>In the end, here is a side-by-side comparison of emacs and joe on my development server.</p>

<p>If anybody wants my ruby syntax file, email me and I will send it over. I will probably continue to make some changes to it until I get the ideal color schema and will post a link to the file later on.</p><p>Okay, as I haven’t quite figured out how to change the background colors of the osx terminal and I was attempting to use the syntax highlighting file that I posted earlier (some of the text in .rb files was not showing as the colors matched the background).</p>
