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.

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:

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.

Pacman.conf file syntax highlighting for nano

Hi, here is pacman.conf file syntax highlighting for nano. It may be useful for those who edit their pacman.conf regularly.
Just put this lines in the end of your /etc/nanorc or ~/.nanorc file:
# syntax highlithing in pacman.conf
syntax "pacman.conf" "pacman\.conf$"
color brightwhite start="\[" end="\]"
color brightyellow ".*="
color brightred "=.*"
color white "="
color brightblue "\[|\]"
color brightcyan start="/|http|ftp" end=".*"
color green "#.*"
In this thread you can find rc.conf file syntax highlighting.

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.

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.

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.

I don't seem to have a user Library folder, my only Library folder is on the same level as my Users folder.
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

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

3.0EA1: syntax colors for reserved words and a shortcut for compile

Hello,
only two notes/questions:
1. If syntax coloring is enabled, do you get your information about the words from V$RESERVED_WORDS? Is it possible for you to enhance these reserverd words (for example from a separate file) to take care of the following datatypes not defined in V$RESERVED_WORDS (especially the pl/sql-types)?:
any types: anydata, anydataset, anytype
xml types: uritype
spatial types: sdo_geometry, sdo_georaster, ...
media types: ordaudio, ordimage, ...
pl/sql types: pls_integer, binary_integer, simple_integer, boolean
2. Is it possible to get a shortcut for compiling? There are so many shortcuts defined, but when you write code you have to take the mouse and klick on the toolbar to compile/compile for debug (or do i miss the entry in the preferences?).
Thank you
Markus

I forwarded this on the the correct developers they should reply here shortly.

Syntax highlighting in JSPs: How do they do that?

In this forum, for example, if write code tags you write Java code that is automatically highlighted:// a comment
public static void Main( String args[] )
/* blah blah blah*/
}which is great!
I'd like to know how it's done, esp if there's a generic prcedure to it as I'm developing a site that will require syntax highlighting for several languages.
Thanks JSP gurus!

You can do this yourself. Create a table of key
words. You can scan
through the text to get the individual words. If they
are in your
table then add the bold tags. The trickiest part
would be finding
the end of comments, but this is not too difficult
either.Yeah, this really isn't too difficult, having finished something myself. With comments, if you open with a //, you can simply consider everything between that and a newline as a comment, and with the /* comment, everything between it and a */ is also a comment.
If all goes well, and you plan everything out, you should be able to place all necessary code formatting tags into the code with one iteration.

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)

comecial code pleas notify me.

XML Schema Syntax highlighting - quicker way than this?

I have implemented a syntax highlighter for my XML Schema Editor, however it runs quite slowly. Is there a faster way than the method used below:
          while(line.length() > len)
               if(line.charAt(len) == '<' )
                    append(Color.black, line.charAt(len));

                         len++;
                    else if( line.charAt(len) == '!' && line.charAt(len+1) == '-' && line.charAt(len+2) =='-')

}line = The string of XML Schema data
len = the character position within the string.
Currently it looks at each character and sees if it is one of the defining characters eg '<' and then colours the following text the chosen colour, until it reaches another defining chracter eg '>'
Is there a faster way? Could I use hashmaps somehow?
Thanks

1. You may use somewhat cumbersome syntax like:
choice
A
B
all
A
B
/all
/choice
to implement inclusive or.
2. They (W3 Schema WG) were talking about
this but decided not to allow it (at least for now). A workaround you may use:
all
group ref = group1
group ref = group2
/all
group name=group1
elem ... maxOccurs = 10
/group
Something like that.

[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

Hi,
go to:
/usr/share/gtksourceview-3.0/language-specs
edit sql.lang:
sudo gedit sql.lang
go to line 27 and change
<property name="globs">*.sql</property>
to
<property name="globs">*.sql;*.hql</property>
and restart gedit. Worked for me (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS)
Cheers

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();
