Inform 6 Language Grammar for Atom

This package permits syntax coloring of Inform 6 source code in the Atom editor. This should also work with compatible syntax colorers, like TextMate 2, with some appropriate changes for the particulars of how grammar files are specified.

Note that this package does not deal with Inform 7. Andrew Plotkin has already written an Inform 7 language file.

This language extension correctly handles:

  • Comments
  • Strings (double and single)
  • Directives
  • Keywords
  • Function definitions

Note that Inform 6 uses two file extensions, inf and h, that are very commonly used by multiple other languages.

If you want to customize what language package is used when loading a file of a certain extension, Atom can be configured to do this. You'll need to manually edit your Atom config.cson file and add this if you want Inform 6 to be the default:

"*":
  core:
    customFileTypes:
      "source.inform6": [
        "inf"
        "h"
      ]
