XCode LUA Syntax highlighting

For C + + programmers accustomed to using Visual Studio + Visual Assistx, using powerful Xcode to write code is inconvenient, and if you write Lua scripts, you have to use sublime Text, that's not much to say, Tears are rushing ...

The answer to whether Xcode has a LUA-syntax-highlighting plugin is absolutely yes. Although writing this article has the suspicion of imitating others, but in order to deepen the memory, please understand.
The next step is to install the LUA highlight plugin in Xcode in the general process:

(1) Download LUA syntax plugin, URL:

Https://github.com/breinhart/Lua-In-Xcode

Its main file is add-lua.sh, Lua.xclangspec, after downloading the file, assume that the file directory is named: Lua-in-xcode-master

(2) Open terminal, enter Lua-in-xcode-master directory, enter command: sudo./add-lua.sh (enter) note to ensure that Xcode is turned off

(3) Enter the machine's password, note that the terminal is not displayed the password of the machine, so, after input, directly click Enter.

(4) Open the terminal again and enter the command:

Rm-f/private/var/folders/*/*/*/com.apple.developertools/*/xcode/plugincache-debug.xcplugincache

This command, which is used primarily to clear out its cache

(5) Open Xcode, choose Editor---Syntax coloring, find Lua, click to make the corresponding LUA syntax color, if you switch to other LUA files, you need to select Syntax coloring

　　

That's probably the way it is, but here's what you'll want to say about the settings for the Xcode syntax discoloration:

(1) Go to application, find Xcode, right click to select "Show Package Contents", then go to contents/shareframeworks/dvtfoundation.framework/versions/a/resources , note that these files are hidden files.

(2) in the above directory, you will find a lot of such as, C++.xclangspec, C.xclangspec and so on. Xclangspec files, these are the relevant language documentation, you can use Sublimetext to open their files to see the contents of the relevant grammar file.

(3) in the same directory, find Dvtfoundation.xcplugindata, the file is a plist configuration file in various languages, after opening, you can view the configuration of the following Lua file, as follows:

These are the general steps of the language configuration, say a bit more, but hope to bring you some gains.
