## Languages tab

Languages and files tab allows customizing how syntax highlighting language and editing options are chosen depending on the document filename, as well as setting editing options for all documents which use given language and choosing file patterns and mime types for which the given language should be used.

Here you can set editing options on per-language basis, as well as define for which file patterns and mime types given language should be used.

Language combo box

  Choose the language you want to customize. Settings for `None` will apply to documents for which no syntax highlighting language was chosen.

Mime types

  Selected language will be used for files with these mime types, unless the language is chosen based on the filename or overridden in the File filters tab section.

Extensions

  Selected language will be used for files whose filenames match these patterns, unless overridden in the File filters tab section.

Options

  Default editing options to use in documents which use the given language. These options can be overridden using File filters tab section, and options set in the file text have a higher priority as well. See the section called “Options for editing text” for format of this entry content.
