Rc.conf file syntax highlighting for nano

Hey, here is rc.conf file syntax highlighting for nano. It may be useful for those who edit their rc.conf regularly.
# syntax highlithing in rc.conf
syntax "rc.conf" "rc\.conf$"
color brightwhite ""(\\.|[^\"])*""
color brightwhite "$(\\.|[^\"])*$"
color brightred "![^> ]+"
color brightcyan "@[^> ]+"
color brightyellow ".*="
color white "="
color brightblue ""|$|$"
color green "#.*"
Put this lines into /etc/nanorc or ~/.nanorc

thank you! i always accidentally open up nano, find out text is practically unreadable with its default colours, close it and then wait the horrific 4 seconds it takes for emacs to spring to life.

Syntax Highlighting for custom file extensions

Hi everyone.
I am currently working on a PHP project, and we are using
*.thtml files for templates. The file isn't supported by
Dreamweaver, as it's a fictional file extension. First I couldn't
even open it with Dreamweaver, but after I added it in
settings/file types, it worked.
Now my question - how can I activate syntax highlighting for
this filetype? It contains HTML and PHP, so it should work with the
same highlighter as all the other file types do..
Can someone help me out?
Thanks.

How do I enable syntax highlighting for jspf files on Dreamweaver CS6 on Windows?

I followed the instructions (which I modified for CS6) in this posting: http://blog.metameister.com/blog/2011/04/08/open-new-file-types-and-add-syntax-highlightin g-in-dreamweaver-cs5-on-window…
but it did not work for CS6.
How do I enable syntax highlighting for jspf files on Dreamweaver CS6 on Windows 7?
cheers
Marvin in Edmonton

Ok, I figured it out after hunting for a few hours.
Step 1. Add the File Type
In Dreamweaver’s toolbar:
Select Edit > Preferences;
under File Types / Editors, add .jspf to the line “Open in Code View:”.
Step 2. Extensions.txt
Add file type .jspf to the Extensions.txt files. There are two of these files:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS6\en_US\Configuration
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS6\configuration
Step 3. MMDocumentTypes.xml
Add jspf to the MMDocumentTypes.xml files. Open this file in Notepad or Text Editor. Do not modify the Dreamweaver configuration files within Dreamweaver.
There are three MMDocumentTypes.xml files to be modified:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS6\configuration\DocumentTypes
C:\Users\mhaagsma\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS6\en_US\Configuration
C:\Users\mhaagsma\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS6\en_US\Configuration\DocumentTypes\
Step 4. Restart Dreamweaver
Hopefully the file type will now be recognized and appear with syntax highlighting.

Syntax Highlighting for MATRIXx MathScript and TPL

There have been some questions about text editors for MATRIXx, so I wanted to let everyone know about an application note that we just posted. It describes how to configure a syntax highlighter for use with MathScript and Template Programming Language (TPL). There is also an example of how Crimson Editor can be configured. I choose Crimson Editor because it was free, but the same thing can be done in other syntax highlighters. Using a syntax highlighter makes MATRIXx code a lot easier to read.
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/C43375149CB01C3186256E530081EAA5
While I am at it, I am going to point out some other resources. The application note is located on Developer Zone section of our website, where
you can find other MATRIXx examples and tutorials:

How to enable syntax highlighting for jspf files on Dreamweaver CS5.5 on Mac

I ran into an issue where I couldn't get the color coding (color coding style) for java server pages fragments (.jspf) files to show syntax highliting.
I followed the adobe instructions on Changing and adding file extensions recognized by Dreamweaver without any luck.
Here is the solution that worked for me:
On a Mac:
1. Edit the /Users/YOUR USER/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver CS5.5/en_US/Configuration/DocumentTypes/MMDocumetTypes.xml
Note: the Adobe instructions tell you to edit /Applications/Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5/Configuration/DocumentTypes/MMDocumetTypes.xml (Editing this file didn't do anything for me, so you need to change the file above instead)
Find,
<documenttype id="JSP" servermodel="JSP" internaltype="Dynamic" winfileextension="jsp,jst" macfileextension="jsp,jst" file="Default.jsp" writebyteordermark="false" mimetype="text/html">
Replace with,
<documenttype id="JSP" servermodel="JSP" internaltype="Dynamic" winfileextension="jsp,jst,jspf" macfileextension="jsp,jst,jspf" file="Default.jsp" writebyteordermark="false" mimetype="text/html">
2. Edit the /Users/YOUR USER/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver CS5.5/en_US/Configuration/Extensions.txt
In the All: section on top add the jspf extention right after jsp in my example it looked like this
HTM,HTML,SHTM,SHTML,HTA,HTC,XHTML,STM,SSI,JS,JSON,AS,ASC,ASR,XML,XSL,XSD,DTD,XSLT,RSS,RDF, LBI,DWT,ASP,ASA,ASPX,ASCX,ASMX,CONFIG,CS,CSS,CFM,CFML,CFC,TLD,TXT,PHP,PHP3,PHP4,PHP5,PHP-D IST,PHTML,JSP,WML,TPL,LASSO,JSF,VB,VBS,VTM,VTML,INC,SQL,JAVA,EDML,MASTER,INFO,INSTALL,THEME,CONFIG,MODU LE,PROFILE,ENGINE,SVG:All
and I added the jspf and it looks like this now,
HTM,HTML,SHTM,SHTML,HTA,HTC,XHTML,STM,SSI,JS,JSON,AS,ASC,ASR,XML,XSL,XSD,DTD,XSLT,RSS,RDF, LBI,DWT,ASP,ASA,ASPX,ASCX,ASMX,CONFIG,CS,CSS,CFM,CFML,CFC,TLD,TXT,PHP,PHP3,PHP4,PHP5,PHP-D IST,PHTML,JSP,JSPF,WML,TPL,LASSO,JSF,VB,VBS,VTM,VTML,INC,SQL,JAVA,EDML,MASTER,INFO,INSTALL,THEME,CONFIG,MODU LE,PROFILE,ENGINE,SVG:All
That's it, Quit Dreamweaver and open it up again. Open the .jspf file and see the color coding (syntax highlighting)
Hope this helps you and seves you time figuring it out. If this helped, do a good thing, next time you figure something out, tell others about it to save their time too, like I did. Enjoy.

From Locating your personal configuration folder in the Dreamweaver FAQ:
In Mac OS X (Lion and Mountain Lion), open Finder and press Shift-Cmd-Go. Type ~/Library/Application Support in the dialog box, and click Go. You should then be able to find the configuration folder.

[SOLVED] VIM: different syntax highlighting for new vs existing file

I've had this minor nagging issue for a while that I've been trying to figure out, but I just don't know where to look.
It is most obvious with LaTeX files (*.tex). When I create a new file with "vim file.tex" it is recognized as a latex file and I get syntax highlighting, but it seems odd, or off. When I close then reopen the same file, it gets "propper" syntax highlighting.
I gather that this must be because of the two different mechanisms for matching the syntax type: filename versus content. When the file is new, vim only uses the extension. Once there is a latex comand (e.g., "\documentclass{article}") it recognizes it as something else and the highlighting style is different.
It turns out just by actually elaborating exactly what the problem was, I was able to find the solution. I looked for how vim recognizes the files, and found two relevant lines in /usr/share/vim/vim73/filetype.vim on lines 2093 and 2094. Apparently the .tex filetype is not the same as .latex and others. I changed it so it was, and I got the desired behavior.
I thought about just not posting this - but it may be useful for others.

You're right about it being overridden. This change should be able to be placed in ~/.vimrc though.
Well that was foolish - I should have read the comments right below in that file. It says exactly how to set it in vimrc. I've now added the following to my ~/.vimrc and this is completely solved without modifying the /usr/... file.
let g:tex_flavor = "tex"

Syntax Highlighting for LESS CSS in Dreamweaver CS5.5

This article describes how to add the .less extension to Dreamweaver so that it views it as CSS and thus performs proper syntax highlighting.
I'm using Dreamweaver CS5.5 and following those steps still doesn't work for me. It works perfectly fine in CS5 and earlier versions but not CS5.5.
Do you have any ideas? I'm modifying the following file as the above link suggests:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5\configuration\DocumentTypes\MMDocumentTypes.xml

Aegis Kleais wrote:
Sorry, Al, but I couldn't disagree more. Where I respect the fact that, as coders, we're rather ingrained with our workflow processes and, at times, hesitant to change, I've found LESS' benefits to be very worthwhile.
No need to apologize. Preprocessing is a topic on which there are differing opinions. You have one. I have one. There are advocates:
http://blog.urbaninsight.com/2012/04/12/ten-reasons-you-should-be-using-css-preprocessor
There are those who are not sold:
http://blog.millermedeiros.com/the-problem-with-css-pre-processors/
http://www.skybondsor.com/blog/css-preprocessors
There are those mostly sold:
http://css-tricks.com/musings-on-preprocessing/
There are even those who have been converted (but who might reverse at some later point):
http://cognition.happycog.com/article/preprocess-this
Heck, even I might be converted someday - or not
Bottom line for me, right now? I know I can write CSS that is better than most, more efficient than most, and easier to follow than most, and a preprocessor would add unwanted complexity. But that's for me. For someone not able to be organized intutively, or for a large - but carefully coordinated - team, a preprocessor could be a positive.
But not for me.
There are evolving trends - popular aspects of the technology that may and should find themselves being adapted into CSS. But I've been around this business as long as CSS has. I've seen buzzwords and trends and I've historically been spot-on in predicting the one that will stick. I think preprocessing will stick - but only insofar as it will be a catalyst for features in future versions of CSS. As a separate technology it makes no sense - to me

Converting video files to mp4 for nano 3rd gen

I'm trying to find a quick, easy, hassle free way of converting video files such as mpg and avi to mp4 so that i can watch them on my new ipod nano.
Anyone got any suggestions and ideas?

Ricktoronto and others,
Thanks for all the advice! I do have MPEG Streamclip and I'd thought about it, but have not really used it all that much. I didn't spend a whole lot of time looking at it but just did now and see that you convert to Quicktime and in there, you select Apple MPEG-4 and do all your adjustments. Now my version says that it will convert to H264. Does that function not work right?
The bottom line though is I ended up returning the Video iPod. The biggest drawback is the fact that it does not have Firewire as all I have are Macs with USB 1.1. I could upgrade my Blue & White G3 and put a USB 2.0 card in it but that machine would be REAL slow to convert video. And my iMac of course, can't be upgraded. If I had USB 2.0 or the iPod had Firewire, I would have kept it....
Still, I'll mess with the conversion programs and see what works best. I'll figure out how to do everything and then once I'm up to speed, maybe consider getting one.

Syntax Highlighting w/ Swing Text Package

I have a question for you that I hope ever so much that you could answer just in the most abstract sense, I will figure out the code from what you have said hopefully. Any relavent parts that you think I should know, please point out.
My question is, I'm trying to implement Syntax Highlighting for a code editor in Java (yes I know, like everyone else. It would REALLY be helpful if you did an updated Demo of a SyntaxEditor for JDK 1.4 BTW) anyway, I have already implemented Syntax Highlighting by overriding the PlainView and changing its drawLine method to parse the line, find the key words then draw them accordingly. However I cannot get over the sinking feeling that there is a better way to do this in JDK 1.4, I'm not worried about backward compatability. I'm only interested in the "sexiest" way to do this with Java. I started looking into the GlyphView, and that seems more of what I want, it has more control over the text elements and strong drawing abilities, I also noticed the GlyphPainter1 and GlyphPainter2, I tried to extend GlyphPainter2 and use it with my extended GlyphView and just change its paint method to parse the lines, but the class complains about not being public, even though in the source its class definition is "public class GlyphPainer2 extends GlyphView.GlyphPainter" which confused me.
But at any rate, my basic question is how would YOU, implement Syntax Highlighting (code coloring) if you could do it from scratch with all the facilities of the 1.4 JDK. ALso, should I look into the Java2D API or is this over kill for what I'm doing? I just need a basic code color'er, nothing fancy. But I need the fonts and styles to be able to change, that's all. And international support would be nice.
The type of answer I'm hoping for is something like "Create a new editor kit and then extend the GlyphView class and override its XYZ method to do your line parsing and then override the ABC method to do the actual painting of the line, this is the best way to do this in java"
Best wishes,
-rsk123

I am searching for text highlighting code in java during 7 days.
And I also agree with Mr. rsk123 's thought.
I want to make editor to highlight code using java's general text package.
But I can't find good source or class to satisfy me.
Some code run well but it's not use the original java text package.
Some code was made by using java text package but have a bug and not run pefectly.
Now, I must choice a code for text highlighting.
But until now I can't find a free code or comecial code for it.
Anyway, I summarize my suffing result until now.
** I have stuied,
. About java's text package in Swing Connection site.
It's useful a little to understand the text package structure.
(http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/index.html)
. How to make own EditorKit in 'Java Swing' book chapter 24.
I think it's good. But difficult to read.
(published by O'REILLY. Robert Eckstein)
** I have found program and have tested.
1) JEdit (http://www.jedit.org)
2) Jext(http://www.jext.org)
3) Sun's sample using the JavaEditorKit
(http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/text/editor_kit/index.html)
4) Ostermiller's Syntax editor (http://ostermiller.org/syntax/editor.html)
5) j (http://armedbear-j.sourceforge.net/)
6) je 1.66 (http://mathsrv.ku-eichstaett.de/MGF/homes/grothmann/je/)
*** Detail descriptions of the test
1. May be run well but not use java text package.
==> JEdit (http://www.jedit.org), Jext(http://www.jext.org)
- I executed JEdit and Jext program. it works very well.
I think It's greate programs.
- The editor class for these programs are
org.gjt.sp.jedit.textarea.JEditTextArea class.
The JEditTextArea class extends JComponent, not java text component.
- JEditTextArea class started from 'jedit syntax package project'.
You can download the syntax package if you only use syntax highlighting
from http://syntax.jedit.org/ .
- JEdit and Jext use for editor 'jedit syntax package' but have upgrade that
package their own effort(may be)
- For me, It's an only product run well without error.
But unfortunately it's not use java text component.
So I hesitane to use it.
Because I should make almost code to support general editor function which
supported in JTextComponent.
2. Provided by Sun's developer site.
==> JavaEditorKit (http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/text/editor_kit/index.html)
- It's made using JEditorPane. Great!!
And have a good architecture. (I think)
- But It use Scanner class which located in tools.jar package and
have a bug which not supporting well comment syntax /* */.
(Refer to http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4323090.html)
Futhermore it display terrible exception message when typed "/*" string
in the end position of java file. (I tested it)
- I heard in the forum, someone made the own scanner class.
(http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?thread=120564&forum=57&message=316083)
He said,(he = rofshi)
I wrote for my purposes a scanner based on the StreamTokenizer
cl*** and set a corresponding object in the JavaView cl*** of
the JavaKitTest.
Then I placed the method of my Scanner cl*** that parses the
given string and paints tokens in the method drawUnselected
Text (instead of previous code).
Of course, I erased all of the previous code related to the
java Scanner.
- For me, I like this style code and want to use it.
But Scanner class have some bug and I can't cure that bug. Terrible...
3. using JTextPane
==> http://ostermiller.org/syntax/editor.html
- At first it's too slow.
My computer is PentiumIII 350MHz Ram:256M Windows2000Por
But when I press pgDown key quickly the display couldn't follow it.
- And may be not support unicode.
When I typed international code, exceptions displayed.
(too much exceptios. may be caused repeating by thread.)
(ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException in JavaLexer.java 1022 ?)
- For me, supporting international code is essential.
So I can't use it.
4. Do work well. But it use not understandable code for me.
(not use general java text package)
1)http://armedbear-j.sourceforge.net/
2)http://www.rene-grothmann.de
*** Finally, I have plan to make my own code using Mr rsk123's idea.
(using GlyphView in jdk1.3 or jdk1.4)
*** If you have a good information for text highliting of free code or
comecial code pleas notify me.

[SOLVED] Associate extensions to syntax highlights pluma/gedit

Hi,
I am trying to make pluma/gedit use the SQL syntax highlight by default, when I open or create a file
with extension .hql (hive).
I think I added correctly the mime for hql file, but it still doesn't work.
Can you help me with this issue?
(also if there is an hive syntax highlighter for pluma it is even better, but for the moment I would be happy just to highlight it as an Sql file).
Thanks a lot in advance for the help,
Cheers,
Luca

How to install Syntax highlighting

Okay, so I'm trying to get syntax highlighting for my jscrollpane, which I have been lead to use: http://ostermiller.org/syntax/
I downloaded the jar file, but I was wondering what do I have to do to start using the classes, I'm completely losses, I don't even know where to put it.

Well I don't know if this is the right way, but it seems to be at least going somewhere. I extracted the files of the jar file and put the all the extracted folder into the class folder of my current program. Then I tried to import the package with
import com.Ostermiller.Syntax.*;and when I complied it, it works so far.
but when I try to create an object it can not access it:
ToHTML toHTML = new ToHTML(); gets this error message,
--------------------Configuration: TEV3 - j2sdh1.4.2_13 <Default> - <Default>--------------------
C:\Program Files\Xinox Software\JCreatorV4LE\MyProjects\TEV3\src\TEV3.java:22: cannot access com.Ostermiller.Syntax.ToHTML
bad class file: C:\Program Files\Xinox Software\JCreatorV4LE\MyProjects\TEV3\classes\com\Ostermiller\Syntax\ToHTML.class
class file has wrong version 49.0, should be 48.0
Please remove or make sure it appears in the correct subdirectory of the classpath.
ToHTML toHTML = new ToHTML();

Httpd.conf file missing in action

This is a weird one. I want to modify my httpd.conf file so my URL's all default to lower case. I'm using MAMP, so I navigated to Applications > MAMP, opened the file, modified it and restarted my server. (I also modified an .htaccess file.)
I then added the code LogLevel trace8 to my config file, with the understanding that I would see more "verbose" messages in my error log. Afterr restarting my servers, I reloaded my web page, then checked the log - nothing changed. That is, the log is recording my activity, but it doesn't display "verbose" messages.
Someone who was helping me on an Apache forum came to thte conclusion that my httpd.conf fiile isn't being used. So I typed httpd.conf into Apple's finder and, sure enough, I found half a dozen files with that name. I couldn't determine which is the right one, so I modifed all of them and restarted my serverrs again. There's STILL no change in my URL's, and my log is still recording generic messages.
Does anyone have any idea how I can solve this problem? First, am I correct in understanding that there must be at least ONE active httpd.conf files in order for my sites to function? If so, then I know there must be an invisible httpd.conf file somewhere on my MacBook that I need to locate.
Also, is it possible for error messages to be written to more than one Apache log at a time? It's just so strange that the error log in my Applications > MAMP folder is keeping tabs on the web pages I visit when the httpd.conf file in the same folder is apparently doing nothing.
Thanks for any tips.

MAMP is not Apple software and is well outside the normal 'consumer' stuff they deal with in Apple stores, I therefore don't think a Genius would be either will or able to investigate this. However I can provide the following information and maybe others who have used MAMP can provide more.
/etc/apache2/httpd.conf is the file used on a standard OS X Mac
/Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/httpd_server_app.conf is the equivalent file used on a Mac server if you have installed Apple's Server.app
I have seen conflicting comments suggesting the location for the equivalent file for MAMP is -
/Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf
or
~/Library/Application Support/appsolute/MAMP PRO/httpd.conf
The following might be helpful http://foundationphp.com/tutorials/vhosts_mamp.php
