I saw this repository. sublimehq/Packages
I use sublime text 3, but I don't know tmLanguage file.
Also I googled definition of it, but I couldn't find it.
What is it?
tm stands for TextMate. It's a text editor for Mac OS X only and was revolutionary in its time since most of its features are pushed to extension packages instead of residing in the main program.
Sublime Text carried on the idea and made it cross platform. Sublime was designed to be compatible with TextMate extension packages.
Sublime text state's it on their website:
Syntax definitions use Textmate’s .tmLanguage extension for
compatibility reasons. As explained further above, they are simply XML
files in the Plist format.

Sublime Text 3 editor has been installed in Window10 OS, i get a package named nesC.tmbundle (from https://github.com/cdwilson/nesC.tmbundle) that can support nesC syntax highlighting in Mac and Linux platform, but it cannot make the nesC language syntax highlighting in Window10.
there are two critical files in nesc.tmbundle package used to support syntax highlighting, one is info.plist and another is Syntaxes/nesC.tmLanguage, maybe the two files can not be parsed correctly in window10 platform. maybe i should do some adjustments for the two files, but i cannot understand them deeply, so ask for help from who can undetstand it. thanks in advance.
Is it OK to install ST3 on Mac OSX 10.11.2 which has ST2 installed? and what things I need to look out for?
Thanks
I mean your only going to get benefits as you go up the chain so here are some(from hundreds):
Speed. Startup time, file load time, and Replace All have all been
significantly improved. If you're using OS X with a Retina display,
then you'll find huge rendering speed improvements too.
Symbol Indexing, for Goto Definition and Goto Symbol in Project.
Complementing these are the Jump Forward and Jump Back features.
Improved HTML Editing, including tag and attribute completion as well
as automatic tag closing.
Improved Project and Pane management, including multiple workspaces
for a single project.
Richer API. Plugins are better insulated from the application, and
now have a broader and fully threadsafe API to work with.
I have sublime text 3, and its the best code-editor ive used. Dont worry get sublime text 3 as it will only get better :)
I want to use the Atom Text Editor to manage my feature files defined in Gherkin, I saw that there exist on the one hand the language-gherkin-plugin which works very well with syntax coloring in different colors. I'm more interested to use the second language-gherkin-i18n-plugin to define feature files in different languages. The problem is that the syntax coloring doesnt work as expected and shown in the preview on GitHub. Has anyone used the plugin in Atom and was able to run it as expected? Or can someone try it out and give feedback if it works?
My setup is Windows 10 64 Bit and Atom 1.2.3, the plugin will be installed through the package manager!
EDIT: I fixed the package together with the developer, the problem lied in the autodetection of the language with CRLF line ending files. Should work now.

I want to use some strings which are in my language (Persian) in "Sublime Text", but the editor does not show them correctly, for example:
it should be:
<title>عنوان صفحه</title>
but this is how sublime is showing it:
The encoding is set to utf-8.
What should I do to fix it?
There is This Plugin But It Does Not Work Properly
https://packagecontrol.io/packages/Bidirectional%20text%20support
added by barlop
Important Note- As comments indicate, this plugin doesn't really work. People have issues copy/pasting from sublime into notepad. It's OK for viewing but that's not much of an answer.
Note, sublime with this plugin might show leters in the correct order but copy/paste in notepad and it might not so try copy/pasting in notepad first before typing a whole load in there. Also this plugin might not move the cursor in a right to left fashion. (i.e. type a letter the cursor when typing in a right to left language should move to the left)
To install,
i've tested this on ST3 portable.
if you go to the tools menu you see there's no bidirectional option
Then if you go here
https://packagecontrol.io/packages/Bidirectional%20text%20support
see it mentions
their github page here
https://github.com/praveenvijayan/Sublime-Text-2-BIDI
Click on Clone/Download then download zip
extract it and Copy the folder to the packages folder.. i.e. open sublime, do preferences..browse packages , and it gives a folder like C:\Users\harvey\Downloads\ST3\Data\Packages Paste the folder there. (maybe it's better to put it in the user subdirectory, I don't know).
Then go to the tools menu and you see bidirectional options like bidirectional text that weren't there before
And while you're at it you may want to install "package control" if it's not already installed. Go to tools..command palette.. type 'package' see if package control appears. Or go to preferences, see if there is package control listed. If not then you don't have 'package control' installed. You can install package control by going to https://packagecontrol.io/ and click install and it gives you some python code in 2 tabs, one for ST2, one for ST3, and you can paste it into your console(view..console). But it's not strictly necessary you can install the bidirectional package without doing that.
The RTL-Mirror plugin for sublime 3 will show you the correct text by hitting Ctrl+F1 on Windows and OSX and Shift+F1 on Linux. it's not the perefect solution but it helps.
For the last few years my workflow has to been use VS Code as an IDE, for coding, and Sublime Text 3 (sorry, 4) for editing plain text because of its startup speed and because VS Code would be overkill.
However, since it's pretty clear by this point that the ST devs don't intend to implement RTL support, and because I would rather not have to install a third text editor just to deal with RTL text (which there are very few of anyway), there were only two convenient options left for me to open up RTL files on Windows.
Use Windows 10's Notepad (yes, really)
This is the superior solution since the new Notepad works well, starts up faster than Sublime, and not only renders RTL text but renders it quite well. The only downside is the lack of a dark mode.
Use VS Code (or whatever your preferred IDE is)
Both free IDEs like VS Code and paid ones like PHPStorm and IntelliJ seem to support RTL out of the box, but pretty much the only good reason to do this is if you absolutely need dark mode or are not on Windows - otherwise all of them up start up far slower than Sublime, and in the case of VS Code, render RTL text worse than Notepad does (I can't speak for JetStorm IDEs on that front).
Who knows, if I find a better alternative text editor that I can move my custom theme over to I may eventually move away from Sublime completely to another editor, but until then, sticking to two editors.
I'm unable to highlight my assembly.
No, but since Sublime Text 2 can read Textmate language definition files (.tmLanguage files), you could easily add support to Assembly by copying something like https://github.com/foxostro/x86-assembly-textmate-bundle to your "Packages" directory (C:\Users\hugo\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 2\Packages on my Win7).
There is now a much better answer to this:
In Sublime Text, just go to Preferences > Package Control > install packages. Once there search for "mips-syntax" and hit enter on the result.
Once it installs you should be able to select MIPS as the syntax highlighting for whatever file you're editing.
Edit: Of course, this does assume that your Sublime has Package Control. You can get package control to do this and more at: http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/package_control
I've found another one Assembly x86 syntax definition.
It seems that this guy had done a huge amount of work, and keeps the syntax updated. At least at the time of writing the last change was 9 days ago.
He has also this post on Sublime forum.
GNU Assembler (GAS) x86(-64) syntax:
I know there's a chosen answer, but for anyone else who comes here in the future, you have to specify which syntax/machine you want. Assembly comes in a lot of different flavors for a lot of different machines. Other answers have given Intel x86, NASM, SPARC, and MIPS. When I visited this page back in 2014, I was looking for a good GAS/AT&T syntax def for x86, which I never found.
So naturally, I made my own. It's really an x64 highlighter, but of course that includes x86 too.
It's also on Package Control. To find it, type "gasx" into the search field.
I also ported it over to Atom (available from Atom packages), Vim, and Gedit.
Like others, I noticed a distinct lack of SPARC syntax highlighting in Sublime Text 2, so I rolled my own. It's fully functional, and has its very own entry in Will Bond's Package Control. With Package Control installed, you can install my package in Sublime via Ctrl+Shift+P -> Package Control: Install Package -> SPARC Assembly Syntax.
Complete install instructions and usage tips are available on the Github project page.
Old question, but there is this one: https://packagecontrol.io/packages/NASM%20x86%20Assembly
I know the question was for Sublime 2, but if you want a nice highlighter
I'm using the MasmAssembly on Sublime 3 and found that its quite good. It highlights even ZMMs registers and the lastests SSE instructions.
You can install it using the package control plugin, nevetheless here is the repository:
https://packagecontrol.io/packages/MasmAssembly
AVR-ASM is also available!
See answer by Bitwise but search for AVR-ASM.
I had to install Package Control first:
Win/Linux: <Ctrl + Shift + P>
Mac: <Cmd + Shift + P>
...then type "Install Package Control" and press <Enter>
