Sorry, i know this isn’t really a ruby question but thought someone here  
would know.

I just want to tell gedit to format an rpdf file with the same rules as  
it formats an rb file. In case that wasn’t obvious from the subject.

thanks  
max

I don’t know how to do it permanently, but you can select View -\>  
Highlight Mode to change the highlighting for the current editing  
session.
