apptainer-mode
A simple major mode for Apptainer definition files.
Derived from sh-mode, apptainer-mode implements basic font-locking for definition (.def) file headers and section labels.
Installation
To download the release version, download it from the Releases section and unpack the archive.
To download the development version, run the following snippet, filling in the desired destination path:
git clone git@github.com:jrgant/apptainer-mode </path/to/destination>In either case, add apptainer-mode using one of the following:
(load-file "/path/to/apptainer-mode.el")
;; OR, if you use `use-package`
(use-package
:load-path "/path/to/apptainer-mode/")Options
The user can set a handful of variables to tweak font-locking in .def files. These variables consist primarily of flags that allow users to bold, italicize, box, or fill Apptainer header keywords and section headers easily.
All of the variables listed below default to nil.
