# gedit language-spec
Stylus ships with a temporary version of `styl.lang` for [GtkSourceView](http://live.gnome.org/GtkSourceView), based off [Yanekk](https://github.com/yanekk)'s [work](https://github.com/gmate/gmate/blob/master/lang-specs/scss.lang) on `scss.lang`.
)
This is a start and provides a basic [language spec](http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/NewLanguage) for GtkSourceView editors such as [gedit](http://projects.gnome.org/gedit/).
**Installation Steps**
Download `styl.lang` to your local `language-specs` folder:
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/ && wget https://raw.github.com/LearnBoost/stylus/master/editors/gedit/styl.lang -O ~/.local/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/styl.lang
For gtksourceview 3.0 (gedit 3.0), user:
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/gtksourceview-3.0/language-specs/ && wget https://raw.github.com/LearnBoost/stylus/master/editors/gedit/styl.lang -O ~/.local/share/gtksourceview-3.0/language-specs/styl.lang
Update the MIME database and enjoy Stylus syntax in gedit!
cd ~/.local/share
update-mime-database mime
This is much more enjoyable than having gedit recognize your `.styl` files as Apache Confs!
