Lineage & Acknowledgements
The current syntax is mostly the fault of Michael Lyons, but follows a succession of other handlers:
- Varun Nayyar adapted the package for Sublime Text 3.
- clarkewd had it before that.
- And before him, the Sublime Text 2 version was created by Matthew Ward and Kevin O'Rourke.
Build system and colored underlines are by Michael.
The text in hover popups comes from
cron_descriptorby Adam Schubert.
