# RBXLua for Sublime Text This plugin adds support for [ROBLOX](https://roblox.com) Lua to Sublime Text 3. Currently it supports syntax highlighting, indentation, snippets, and an extremely comprehensive set of completions automatically generated from the API dump. You will need Sublime Text 3 build 3084 or later to use syntax highlighting, which depends on the new `sublime-syntax` format. The earliest stable build with this support is build 3103. Once installed, simply select the language using `Ctrl-Shift-P` and searching for `Set Syntax: ROBLOX Lua`, or open a `.lua` or `.rbxs` file. The language definition will by automatically applied to `.lua` and `.rbxs` file extensions. If it isn't applied to `.lua`, you may need to disable the default Lua package by adding its name to the `ignored_packages` array, so it looks like this: ```json { "ignored_packages": [ "Vintage", "Lua" ] } ``` ## Installation ### Package Control The easiest way to install the plugin is through [Package Control](https://packagecontrol.io/). 1.
