Support crontab syntax
This is a super low priority for me. I just want crontab syntax highlighting in my README.md's on GitHub which claims to use this library. If that's true, then thank you. I'm very happy with your work. If not then this is just a common config/code format that you don't support yet.
Language name
crontab
URL of example repository
If you mean an example implementation of the syntax highlighting. https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/6ffcc58be32aa1b337bc839cfe173b68cfde7085/runtime/syntax/crontab.vim If you mean examples of crontab files I can provide those as needed. I didn't find any comprehensive examples in a moderately quick search.
URL of syntax highlighting grammar
I'm not aware of a formal highlighting specification. Below are a couple example syntax highlighting implementations. https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/6ffcc58be32aa1b337bc839cfe173b68cfde7085/runtime/syntax/crontab.vim https://github.com/textmate/cron.tmbundle/blob/master/Syntaxes/Crontab.tmLanguage < I've never used this one but it's another example
Most popular extensions
I don't know what is meant by this. I suspect that there are no extensions to the crontab format.
Detected language
Crontab files are detected as the crontab
filetype by vim/neovim.
I don't know what is meant by this. I suspect that there are no extensions to the crontab format.
That section's referring to file extensions (as in, .txt
, .sh
, .html
, etc). To my knowledge, crontab files don't use any particular filename suffix.
That TextMate grammar looks pretty good, BTW:
Ah, yeah. I've never seen a crontab with a file extension. When you run crontab -e
it creates a file named crontab
in a temporary directory.
I prefer the vim version of the highlighting. It colorizes the columns which is handy in big crontabs.
