Gtk/Gnome text editors typically use a common library component called [http://projects.gnome.org/gtksourceview/ GtkSourceView]. If you are specifically using [http://www.gnome.org/projects/gedit/ gedit], they have a [http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/NewLanguage NewLanguage] wiki page with instructions. Also, note that gedit is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. Rumor has it that you should be able to drop a new language file in ~/.local/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs If you create Cobra language support for any Gtk/Gnome products, please update this page.
