Converting current document's syntax highlighting based on it's extension in Sublime Text 3

Question

As AIML syntax isn't available for Sublime Text (which is normal because AIML is basically XML), is there a way to automatically convert all .aiml files opened by Sublime Text 3 to XML syntax highlighting (some sort of script to do this)? Whenever I have to reopen Sublime Text syntax highlighting restarts and I need to set highlighting from plain text to XML on every file.

Answer 1

With an .aiml file open in ST3, and the syntax highlighting set to XML:

• (Build 3118 onwards:) From the Preferences menu -> Syntax Specific:
• (Build 3114 and older:) From the Preferences menu -> Settings - More -> Syntax Specific - User

Paste in or type the following, so that the contents of the file look like:

{
    "extensions": ["aiml"]
}

And save it, and all .aiml files opened from now on should be highlighted as XML automatically.
