How to get a ruby syntax highlighting in IntelliJ IDEA Community 12

Question

I know that there is no "official" support from Jetbrains. How can I workaround this? I just need a syntax highlighting level of support for ruby.

Thanks in advance.

Follow the instructions in this blog post: http://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2010/09/custom-file-types-in-intellij-idea/

I've followed that process myself to setup custom syntax highlighting for both Velocity Template Language and JavaScript files, and am just about to do the same for Ruby.
