Question

For Sublime’s Monokai theme with Ruby, how do you

1) color method calls

(ie how do you make “generate_key” a different color.

2) make the color different inside of interpolated strings.

ie how do you make the ‘puts “this is inside. Halp!” a different color?

Answer 1

For your second question, include this in your color theme (more info here):

<dict>
    <key>name</key>
    <string>Embedded Ruby Source</string>
    <key>scope</key>
    <string>string source.ruby.embedded.source</string>
    <key>settings</key>
    <dict>
        <key>foreground</key>
        <string>#D01F1E</string>
    </dict>
</dict>
