A superset of commands to improve SOFiSTiK workflow. A grammar supply package is required, e.g. language-sofistik.

Configuration

The most important part is to correctly set the software installation path and the SOFiSTiK version. You can do it in package settings. The package support shebang as regex ^@ SOFiSTiK (\d{4})(-\d\d?)?$, e.g. @ SOFiSTiK 2022, @ SOFiSTiK 2018, @ SOFiSTiK 2018-12. This overwrite global package settings for all commands run from text-editor scope.
