Hi,
Is there any way to specify the language of a file from the mate command?
I'm using mate in the middle of shell pipe lines so there isn't any filename to pick up on.
The simplest example is "svn diff | mate". While I can set the language to diff, that becomes the default for all piped in text, so "cat README | mate" will use the diff language instead of plain text.
Am I missing something very obvious? (mate -h doesn't appear to show anything relevant).
cheers, mick
