Is there a way to colorcode/highlight robots.txt and .htaccess syntax? E.g. with a SublimeText2 plug-in. I found this, but can't figure out how to install it: https://github.com/shellderp/sublime-robot-plugin

Use Package Control to install the syntax packages you want to use. If you're using Sublime Text without Package Control, you're missing out on a lot.

  1. Install Package Control (follow the linked instructions)
  2. After restarting, type Command+Shift+P then Install Package
  3. Install ApacheConf and the Robot Framework you mentioned

Packages can be added and removed very easily, but greatly enhance and personalize what you can do with Sublime Text.

    I think Robot Framework is test automation package and has nothing to do with robots.txt – Mikko Ohtamaa Jan 06 '13 at 18:14
  • @MikkoOhtamaa might be, I installed it and quickly checked a robots.txt file, but looking more closely it appears syntax was only superficially supported. Using Yaml syntax is more meaningful. – joemaller Jan 06 '13 at 20:18

    To get robots.txt syntax highlighted, install Robot Framework as described above, open .txt file and choose `View -> Syntax -> Robot Framework syntax highlighting` (or Open all with current extension as). It highlights all .txt files. To highlight specific file by name see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22232312/set-syntax-for-a-specific-file-name-in-sublime-text-2-3 – Jan Renner Nov 06 '18 at 09:31
