.SH "ADDING CUSTOM LANGUAGES"
{{PROJECT_EXECUTABLE}} supports Sublime Text \fB.sublime-syntax\fR language files, and can be
customized to add additional languages to your local installation. To do this, add the \fB.sublime-snytax\fR language
files to `\fB$({{PROJECT_EXECUTABLE}} --config-dir)/syntaxes\fR` and run `\fBbat cache --build\fR`.
\fBExample:\fR
.RS 0.5i
mkdir -p "$({{PROJECT_EXECUTABLE}} --config-dir)/syntaxes"
.br
cd "$({{PROJECT_EXECUTABLE}} --config-dir)/syntaxes"
# Put new '.sublime-syntax' language definition files
.br
# in this folder (or its subdirectories), for example:
.br
git clone https://github.com/tellnobody1/sublime-purescript-syntax
# And then build the cache.
.br
{{PROJECT_EXECUTABLE}} cache --build
.RE
Once the cache is built, the new language will be visible in `\fBbat --list-languages\fR`.
.br
If you ever want to remove the custom languages, you can clear the cache with `\fBbat cache --clear\fR`.
.SH "ADDING CUSTOM THEMES"
Similarly to custom languages, {{PROJECT_EXECUTABLE}} supports Sublime Text \fB.tmTheme\fR themes.
These can be installed to `\fB$({{PROJECT_EXECUTABLE}} --config-dir)/themes\fR`, and are added to the cache with
`\fB{{PROJECT_EXECUTABLE}} cache --build`.
