I need help to create a good snippet base, for now current snippets I got from some place, and most are outdated.

In addition if your syntax not works properly just with install process you can edit your /etc/mime.types file and add following lines next to other “text/x-????” entries:

text/x-ruby-source                              rhtml html.erb erb
text/x-eruby                                    rjs
text/x-yaml                                     yml yaml

… Same for other mime types and extensions
