Add .ts language files to Sublime Text to support additional syntax coloring

Question

I'm trying to add Typescript syntax highlighting support, which is provided by MSFT. However, I don't know what to do with that downloaded .zip to make Sublime recognize .ts files. I tried adding it to Installed Packages/Typescript, or just Installed Packages, but that hasn't worked. (I also tried extracting the .tmlanguage file and putting that in Installed Packages/Typescript.

What is the right way to do this? (I'm on Mac OS X 10.8 with Sublime text 2.0.1.)

Answer 1

To add TypeScript syntax highlighting support to Sublime Text on Mac:

1. Unzip the downloaded file. It contains a file named typescript.tmlanguage
2. Create a subfolder in your sublime Package folder called TypeScript. (The path to the Packages folder for Sublime Text 2 on Mac is:
   /Users/{user}/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages)
3. Drop typescript.tmlanguage into your newly created TypeScript folder.
