API Blueprint Sublime Text Plugin

This is the official API Blueprint plugin for Sublime Text with following features:

• Syntax highlighting for the API Blueprint format
• Compiling blueprint into its AST media-type
• Live linting of blueprints as you type using SublimeLinter3

This plug-in works both with Sublime Text 2 and 3. However linting is supported on Sublime Text 3 only.

Requirements

To install Drafter on OS X using run the following command:

SublimeLinter3 (optional)

This plugin offers linting of your blueprints using the SublimeLinter3 plugin framework. In order for linting to work please install SublimeLinter3.
