Hello,

When I open a file with extension .launch using the gedit, the file open without Plain Text. After I choose the option HTML in Plain Text Menu, I closed the file and openned again, the file start with HTML format. My question is: Is there a way to make default HTML for the entire .launch extension?

This is more a Linux/platform configuration issue than a ROS issue. Could you please post this sort of question on a more appropriate forum in the future?

I'm not sure it's the best way (or even the recommended way), but it would appear that configuring a default highlighter for specific file types is possible using a 'language definition file'.

See an I set a default syntax highlighting in Gedit? on Ask Ubuntu.

After I choose the option HTML in Plain Text Menu

Know that .launch files are XML, not HTML. If Gedit has a highlighter for that, I would use the XML highlighter.

Thank you! I understand about that post being a question of other platform. When I did this post, I thought someone users ROS known about it. In the future, I dont will this mistake!.
