Subject: [ruby-talk:11549] jEdit for Ruby

For those of you (if any) using jEdit, some simple things that I've found
useful.

Console macros:

It's pretty easy to create a Run_Ruby console macro -- take the
run_javac.bsh and replace the command = line with:

command = "ruby -C $d $n.rb";

I also have a similar one to run the new ri interactive help -- I took the
Run_make.bsh script and adapted the command line to:

command = "ruby c:\\ruby\\bin\\ri.rb " + target;

This will pop up a dialog, and then put the result in the console window --
I've mapped it to Alt+r Alt+i.

I've been playing with the ruby mode, but haven't gotten very far, the only
useful thing I've done is add

<MARK_FOLLOWING TYPE="LITERAL1">@</MARK_FOLLOWING>

to the rules section -- makes all local variables syntax-colored.  I'm still
experimenting with other useful things.

Hope this helps someone,

Noel
