Editing Ledger files with TextWrangler

lifepillar edited this page Oct 28, 2012 · 1 revision

The following plist can be used to add Ledger support to the free OS X text editor TextWrangler. Just save the code below as Ledger.plist and put it inside ~/Library/Application Support/TextWrangler/Language Modules; then, close and re-open TextWrangler. Files with suffix .ledger will be recognized as Ledger files (additional file suffixes can be added in TextWrangler > Preferences > Languages) and colored accordingly. Besides, each transaction will be accessible from the function pop-up menu. Do not forget to edit the file to set your currencies (see the comments in the code)!
