gedit Syntax Highlighting for CoffeeScript files

This project adds CoffeeScript syntax highlighting to the gedit text editor. (and any other gtksourceview-2.0 compliant text editor)

Installation and Use

1. Download and place coffee_script.lang in ~/.local/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs

   Note: if those directories don't exist, make them and gedit will know what to do.

2. Run gedit and open a CoffeeScript file or Cakefile.

Patches and improvements welcome!

Extra: Install the Ruycius-Mod theme

1. Download and place rubycius-mod.xml in ~/.local/share/gtksourceview-2.0/styles

   Note: if those directories don't exist, make them and gedit will know what to do.

2. Run gedit then Edit > Preferences > Fonts and Colors > Color Scheme > Rubycius-Mod

3. I like using Liberation Mono for a base font as well which is available within the standard repo for many Linux distros.
