| 1 | +# GDL-sublime |
| 2 | +A bundle to make GDL available (meant as easy) in [Sublime Text](http://www.sublimetext.com/). |
| 3 | + |
| 4 | +# What is GDL? |
| 5 | +GDL means 'Geometric Description Language'. [ArchiCAD](http://www.graphisoft.com/) uses it to define a library part (it's also used internally for nearly everything). |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +Many users of ArchiCAD are making their own library parts. They are all tied to the – unfortunately horrible – build-in object editor which is stuck in the 80's or so. It doesn't even have line numbers! |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +But the rescue is ~~here~~ in the near future! |
| 10 | +The purpose of this package is to comfortably write code in the best editor of the galaxy – Sublime Text! ;) |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +## Installation |
| 13 | +Installation is not recommended at this time. |
| 14 | +No, really! Do it at your own risk and only for testing, if you're sure what you're doing. |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +### ~~Using Sublime Package Control~~ |
| 17 | +_currently not available in your country. it will be later_ |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +### Using Git |
| 20 | +Alternatively you can install the bundle and keep up to date by cloning the repo directly into your `Packages` directory in the Sublime Text application settings area. |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +Go to your Sublime Text `Packages` directory and clone the theme repository using the command below: |
| 23 | +`git clone https://github.com/runxel/GDL-sublime "GDL"` |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +### Download Manually |
| 26 | +- Download the files using the GitHub .zip download option |
| 27 | +- Unzip the files and rename the folder to 'GDL' |
| 28 | +- Copy the folder to your Sublime Text `Packages` directory e.g. |
| 29 | + - Windows `C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 2\Packages\GDL` |
| 30 | + - OS X: `~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages/GDL` |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +## Usage |
| 33 | +From now on you can select 'GDL' as the current language in the bottom right corner of ST. |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +## Getting Started With Sublime Text |
| 36 | +New to Sublime? Then I can recommend the excellent and free video tutorial by nettuts: [Perfect Workflow in Sublime Text](http://net.tutsplus.com/articles/news/perfect-workflow-in-sublime-text-free-course/). |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +## TO DO LIST |
| 39 | ++ nearly everything :D |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +Roadmap is to implement the syntax first and then also distributing a beatiful custom theme so you can make the best out of the syntax. |
| 42 | +Goodies: Snippets, Tag completion |
