This is a random, kind of non-Julia, question. I use Atom/Juno. Every time I save a program all of the colored formatting disappears and I can no longer run the program. If I copy/paste my program into a new file the formatting comes back and it works again. Or if I restart Atom/Juno the formatting comes back. Is there a way I can just keep the formatting after saving. Thanks ---

My first thought was that you need to make sure that the file you are saving is has the .JL file extension. And also check, in the bottom right I believe, that the editor recognized that this is a Julia script - it should say Julia somewhere along the bottom. ---

Adding the .jl extension seemed to fix things. Thank you very much! ---

No problem! You can mark my answer as a solution for completeness, so that the “solution” jumps out more to anyone else reading this, which would probably be someone who are having the same problem. ---

Done. Thanks again!
