Directory-wide File Variables
You can put file variables in a
special file named .epsilon_vars. Such settings apply to all
files in its directory. In an .epsilon_vars file, lines starting
with # are comments. It contains one or more sections. Within
each section, settings in it appear one per line, with a setting name,
a colon, and a value. Each section begins with a line that says which
extensions or modes it affects:
# Special settings for this directory.
Extensions: .r*
mode: Perl
Modes: Perl|Python
tab-size: 3
Modes: C
tab-size: 5
indent-tabs-mode: nil
The Modes and Extensions lines use a file wildcard pattern. It can
use | for alternation, ? to match a single character or *
to match any number, or character ranges like [a-z]. Epsilon will
apply the settings in the section that follows only if the original
file's extension or mode matches the pattern. This example says that
all files with an extension like .r or .rxx or .ram in that directory
should use Perl mode, and sets the tab size to 3 for Perl or Python
files, and 5 for C files, also turning off using Tab characters to
indent.
Epsilon decides which sections to use before applying the settings, so
an .rxx file forced to Perl mode by the above example file won't get a
tab size of 3 unless you add a tab-size: 3 line to its Extensions
section. Also note that "mode:" sets a file's mode;
"Modes:" begins a section for a specific mode. File variables
in an individual file take precedence over those in an
.epsilon_vars file.
