  We highlight based on the shebang, so you do have some control over the lexer. As far as pastebin style, I don't think that's something we want at this point.

  If you have specific extensions you want highlighted and they are generic enough (like .build being XML), please open a ticket and we can add it so everyone benefits.

  based on shebang line? no wonder most of highlighting doesn't work... most files don't have shebang lines.

  maybe you should base it on file extension (mimetype) as .sql file don't have a shebang. sgml (this includes html and xml doesn't have a shebang). compiled sources like .c and .cpp don't have them. It's an absolute horrible predictor.

  I suggested pastebin style as that allows you to not have to use some predictor so we can set formatting for files like .bashrc which have neither shebang lines or file extensions.

  It's based on both. If we recognize the extension, we highlight it. If there's a shebang, we use that instead.
