This repository provides a small package to help with syntax highlighting of Singularity recipe files in the Atom editor. The package is published on apm and can be updated as needed.
- Grammars: contains the definition of rules and highlights, with details provided below.
- Settings: additional settings
Note that for files that are named Singularity.* (with a Singularity prefix and a custom
extension to indicate a tag) the highlighter is activated on save, or on change
of the title. The others that are named just Singularity or end in .def are
rendered on load. Thus, if you open a file called Singularity.<extension> and
it doesn't highlight right away, just save it and it will trigger the event.
The syntax is fairly simple thus far, and looks like this:

The package itself, as an "official package," should be published, but you
can easily clone this repository and put it in your $HOME/.atom/packages folder
(and maintain the name starting with language- to have it be discovered. You
should likely restart your editor, and then save a file that ends in def or has
Singularity.
Most of the guidance for the regular expressions is taken from language-docker that has very similar syntax highlighting.
