Absolutely agreed. Thank you for the suggestions. Only .tmTheme
files are supported currently and that should be improved in the documentation.
The documentation in the bat
man page already mentions this, by the way. We should probably sync README and man page here.
The documentation for custom themes says:
The documentation for new syntax definitions says:
To a naive reader, this might suggest that
.sublime-color-scheme
(+/-.sublime-theme
?) files might be supported bybat
, but this is not the case. From the looks of the linked issue onsyntect
, things have been this way since some point in 2019.The current custom theme documentation doesn't actually say anything about what a valid format is for a custom theme. I suggest that instead the custom theme documentation explicitly indicate that the current
.sublime-color-scheme
format isn't supported bybat
+/- give some clear indication of what formats are supported bybat
.PS After looking around at the
assets
folder, I was surprised (given the documentation) how manybat
themes had absolutely no sublime-specific theme files at all - just.tmTheme
files. I definitely don't know the context here, but it sounds like.tmTheme
s might actually be a more useful suggestion for custom themes than (just) referencing earlier discussion in the documentation of Sublime and.sublime-syntax
?
