IDE source editor file types
« on: July 02, 2018, 08:33:06 pm »
How do I register a new file type in the editor?

Would like to be able to open a spreadsheet in the editor with information relevant to programming tasks.

You can find the information here:

I tried to understand the explanation but it is too advanced for me. I think it requires you to have knowledge to write your own package (*.lpk).

That is for creating new files. If he only wants to open existing files, he may need an editor highlighter for them.

Mostly Lazarus trunk and FPC 3.2 on Manjaro Linux 64-bit.
