Please use the "Open…" command in Textastic to open files from the Files app using the iOS document picker.

You can also use "Add External Folder…" to add folders from iCloud Drive or apps like the Git client Working Copy as an external folder to Textastic.

Have a look at this topic in the manual for details: https://www.textasticapp.com/v9/manual/integration_other_apps/external_files_folders.html

Looks good. Do you see the "iCloud" option in Textastic below "Local Files"?

I'd try a reboot of the device.

That's not the right setting. Please look in "Apple-ID" -> iCloud. There should be a long list of apps including Textastic. Please check if iCloud is enabled for Textastic there.

Do you have iCloud Drive enabled for Textastic?

There should be an "iCloud" option in Textastic below "Local Files" and there should be a "Textastic" folder in iCloud Drive that has Textastic's app icon as seen in the screenshots at https://www.textasticapp.com/v9/manual/managing_files/local_files_icloud.html#icloud

Textastic's "Local Files" can be found in the Files app in "on my iPhone/Textastic". "iCloud" can be found in the Files app in "iCloud Drive/Textastic.

Also, the latest version of Textastic added a "Get File" shortcuts action that lets you retrieve and file from "Local Files" in Textastic by path.

I'm sorry, but I didn't completely understand the request. What are you trying to achieve, what's the use case?

Hello,

I would do it like this:

• create the python file(s) in Textastic in a folder within "Local Files" or "iCloud"
• use the file transfer screen to upload the files to your server using an SFTP connection
• use the SSH terminal to run the python file on your server using the same connection
• when you now make changes to the python files on your iPad, you can use the "Quick Upload" feature of Textastic to upload your file with two taps or a keyboard shortcut (Cmd-Option-Up)

Hello,

the latest documentation for adding custom syntax definitions can be found in the manual at https://www.textasticapp.com/v10/manual/customization/custom_syntax_themes_templates.html

Textastic currently supports TextMate 1 and Sublime Text 3 syntax definitions.

The markdown-redcarpet bundle you are using seems to be written for TextMate 2 and uses features that are not supported by Textastic, so unfortunately it doesn't work.

Please try to find a TextMate 1 bundle or Sublime Text 3 package instead.

I found this one which looks promising: https://github.com/randy3k/R-Box
