Tutorial: Use TextMate bundles
For a number of languages that are not supported in AppCode, for example, PHP, Python, Ruby, and Java, the IDE still provides syntax highlighting to improve your coding experience if you occasionally need to examine such code. To learn how to describe languages using the TextMate grammar, see the TextMate official website.
Syntax highlighting for these languages is based on TextMate grammars, and AppCode is shipped with a collection of grammar files for different languages. All the available bundles are listed on the page of the Preferences dialog ⌃⌥S.
You can also download and use custom TextMate bundles for other languages.
