Hello,
I've written a syntax file for Mapserver's mapfile (.map) for the
gedit text editor.
1. To get gnome/gedit to recognise a .map file and give it the correct syntax:
http://geothings.net/thinkwhere/mapserver/map.lang
copy it to /usr/share/mime/packages/ directory then run "sudo
update-mime-database /usr/share/mime"
2. The syntax file:
http://geothings.net/thinkwhere/mapserver/mapserver.xml
/usr/share/gtksourceview-1.0/language-specs (or
gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs for Gutsy)
then restart gedit and open a .map file.
More fuller directions here (with links and screenshot)

Many thanks to the other syntax files for vim, textpad and notepad++
that I used to help write it.
Tested on ubuntu Fiesty, let me know if it works, or doesn't.
Thanks,
Tim
