Migrating Coda modes to Coda 2

Coda 1.x modes are not compatible with Coda 2.

This is how to migrate Coda 1.x modes to Coda 2.

Locations

style

~/Library/Application Support/Coda 2/Styles

mode

~/Library/Application Support/Coda 2/Modes

SSS

.sss elements match scope attributes of each nodes in SyntaxDefinition.xml.

<keywords id="Tags" useforautocomplete="no" scope="markup.tag">

markup.tag {
  color:#881280;
  font-weight:normal;
}

The sss rules are inherited from upper scope separated by dots.

markup.tag {
  color:#881280;
  font-weight:bold;
}

markup.tag.attribute.name {
  color:#994500;
}

Style attributes defined in SyntaxDefinition.xml such like color, background-color, font-weight … would be ignored.

This is the why the modes located in ~/Library/Application Support/Coda 2/Modes are selectable but no effects.
