Syntax highlighting problem
Hi there,
I have noticed a little bug I think, that drives me crazy.
First of all I am using Dreamweaver CS5 on a Mac and this happens on every file.
Its about javascript.
So if I type in a javascript section something that requires 2 parameters and I want to modify them before I use them. Lets say divide them by it displays the text in a wrong color.
This is my sample code and there is nothing wrong about this it is just displayed wrong:
ctx.translate(canvasWidth/2,canvasHeight/2);
I underlined the part that is displayed green in dreamweaver.
It seems like the problem is about the two Slashes.
As soon as I type the second one it displays it green, and if I put a multiplication there with 0.5 it does fine aswell.
So is this a known issue?
What can I do about it, it drives me crazy.
I asked a few people who all noticed the same problem.
Both on mac and windows.
Is this the right place to ask or should I mention this to another place like a buglist or something?

Syntax Highlighting and Undo Problem
Hello Guys. I am working ona very simple type of Java Code Editor with syntax highlighting feature. It works fine as far as the syntax highlighting, cut, copy, paste etc are concerned but when I added Undo, Redo feature, it was not working as Undo Redo should. The UndoManager first removes the text attributes and finally the main Undo job. For example if I paste word public , the UndoManager will first remove the attributes and after about third or fouth click on the Undo button removes the pasted word.
Please Help.Here's the complete demo code.

Syntax highlighting not working with label on if statement in fortran in Visual studio 2010
I am having a difficult time in figuring out the syntax highlighting in Visual studio. I am using fortran code and there are labels in if statements as follows:
if_2003: IF (FRAC_PBED(NNSED,L).LT.0.0.AND.
+ FRAC_PBED(NNSED,L).GT.SMALL_NEG_NO) THEN
FRAC_PBED(NNSED,L) = 0.0
TSED_PBED(1,NNSED,L) = 0.0
END IF if_2003
So the problem I am having is when I click on the `if` next to label `if_2003`, then I cannot use `CTRL + ]` to move to the ending `if`. If there is no label before `if`, then the shortcut is working fine. I don't know what I could do so that it would start
behaving as it is supposed to.
In the contrary, when I have do loop as follows:
do_410: DO NNSED=1,NSTD
D50AVG(L) = D50AVG(L) +
+ FRAC_ALAY_SURF(NNSED,L)*D50(NNSED)/10000. ! BASED ON BED COMPOSITION
C
TSED_ALAY_SURF(2,NNSED,L)=TSED_ALAY_SURF(1,NNSED,L)
TSED_ALAY_BUFF(2,NNSED,L)=TSED_ALAY_BUFF(1,NNSED,L)
TSED_PBED(2,NNSED,L)=TSED_PBED(1,NNSED,L)
END DO do_410
I can move to the end/start of `do` loop using the keyboard shortcut `CTRL + ]`. Any suggestions is appreciated.
Regards, JdbabaHello Jdbaba,
Based on my research, your post is related to use fortran in Visual Studio:https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-math-kernel-library-intel-mkl-for-windows-build-intel-mkl-program-with-intel-fortran-in-microsoft-visual-studio This
technology is provided by Intel. So the question should be consulted on Intel fortran related forum. Not Visual Studio Setup forum, setup forum is about install/uninstall Visual Studio.

Different Styles in PlainView - Syntax Highlighting?
Hi,
I've managed to extend PlainView and looking at old JEdit code I have the syntax highlighting working for the most part. However, at certain times while typing the cursor starts to get way ahead of the text it's typing. And as I backspace on the line the cursor eventually gets closer to the character the closer it gets to the start of the line.
I'm overridding the "drawUnselectedText()" method in PlainView to do the coloring.
Here's the code, you can see the call to SyntaxUtilities.paintSyntaxLine() which is JEdit's class to do the drawing.
* Renders the given range in the model as normal unselected text. This
* is implemented to paint colors based upon the token-to-color
* translations. To reduce the number of calls to the Graphics object,
* text is batched up until a color change is detected or the entire
* requested range has been reached.
* @param g
* the graphics context
* @param x
* the starting X coordinate
* @param y
* the starting Y coordinate
* @param p0
* the beginning position in the model
* @param p1
* the ending position in the model
* @returns the location of the end of the range
* @exception BadLocationException
* if the range is invalid
protected int drawUnselectedText(Graphics g, int x, int y, int p0, int p1) throws BadLocationException {
System.out.println("p0: " + p0 + " p1: " + p1 + " x: " + x + " y: " + y);
// Get the start of the element
int lineIndex = doc.getDefaultRootElement().getElementIndex(p0);
// Get the element for the line
Element elem = doc.getDefaultRootElement().getElement(lineIndex);
System.out.println("lineIndex: " + lineIndex + " elemStartIDX: " + elem.getStartOffset() + " elemEndIDX: " + elem.getEndOffset());
// Get the line text
doc.getText(p0, p1 - p0, currentLineText);
// If highlighting, mark the tokens
if (marker != null) {
Token t = marker.markTokens(currentLineText, lineIndex);
x = SyntaxUtilities.paintSyntaxLine(currentLineText, t, styles, this, g, x, y, p0, p1);
System.out.println("Painted line at: " + x);
} else {
// No highlighting requested, draw normal text
Font defaultFont = g.getFont();
Color defaultColor = styles[0].getColor(); // Default color of text
g.setFont(defaultFont);
g.setColor(defaultColor);
x = Utilities.drawTabbedText(currentLineText, x, y, g, this, p0);
// Set the last line processed
lastLine = lineIndex;
return x;
Here is the code from the paintSyntaxLine() method:
* Paints the specified line onto the graphics context. Note that this
* method munges the offset and count values of the segment.
* @param line
* The line segment
* @param tokens
* The token list for the line
* @param styles
* The syntax style list
* @param expander
* The tab expander used to determine tab stops. May be null
* @param gfx
* The graphics context
* @param x
* The x co-ordinate
* @param y
* The y co-ordinate
* @return The x co-ordinate, plus the width of the painted string
public static int paintSyntaxLine(Segment line, Token tokens, SyntaxStyle[] styles, TabExpander expander, Graphics gfx, int x, int y, int p0, int p1) {
Font defaultFont = gfx.getFont();
Color defaultColor = Color.black;
FontMetrics fm = gfx.getFontMetrics(defaultFont);
int offset = 0;
while (tokens != null && tokens.id != Token.END) {
int length = tokens.length;
if (tokens.id == Token.NULL) {
if (!defaultColor.equals(gfx.getColor()))
gfx.setColor(defaultColor);
if (!defaultFont.equals(gfx.getFont()))
gfx.setFont(defaultFont);
} else {
styles[tokens.id].setGraphicsFlags(gfx, defaultFont);
// fm = gfx.getFontMetrics();//[tokens.id].getStyledFont(defaultFont);
// FontMetrics dfm = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getFontMetrics(defaultFont);
// System.out.println("Font Info: CharWidth[" + fm.charWidth(line.array[p1])+"], Max Advance[" + fm.getMaxAdvance()+"]");
// System.out.println("Default Font Info: CharWidth[" + dfm.charWidth(line.array[p1])+"], DMax Advance[" + dfm.getMaxAdvance()+"]");
//// x = fm.charsWidth(line.array, p0, length);
line.count = length;
x = Utilities.drawTabbedText(line, x, y, gfx, expander, p0);
line.offset += length;
offset += length;
tokens = tokens.next;
return x;
I'm not sure what the problem is..i thought it might be an issue with the View and drawing multiple font styles. Since plain view only deals with a single font color and size. I tried using LabelView but that seems to need a StyledDocument and I had problems when I tried to use DefaultStyledDocument for my syntaxdocument. I was getting strange offset issues when using the Segment class.
Here's what I posted: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=780801
I am using PlainDocument because that seemed to be what everyone was using for a syntax editor..since the structure of the document in a Plain Document is less complex.
I orginally started out using the setCharacterAttributes() method on the DefaultStyledDocument and letting the views draw the text. That all seemed to work except for the "segment offset" issue. And I wasn't sure where the best spot to get the document to redraw subsequent lines in the case of changing a multiline comment, etc.
So, everything I read about others attempts for syntax highlighters seems to use either StyledEditorKit with a fixed language set with custom parsing and using the setCharacterAttributes method. Or they use the plaindocument approach with a custom view..(which no one seems to share the source) or the project just simply uses the JEditTextArea directly (which we can't do in our product).
We don't need multiple fonts per-line.. The document will always use one font face (Arial, Helvetica, etc) but may use different styles per word (bold, italic, etc).
I thought I'd need to use FontMetrics to get the size of the font and such. But there didn't seem to be a difference in measurements based on the style of the font. (i.,e A bold font has the same charWidth('m') size as a regular style.
At least that's what my test program showed..
The other thing I noticed is that when the document is successfully colored and I use the mouse to select a region of text, the style of the text reverts back to normal. I'm sure that's because I only override the drawUnselectedText() method.
Any ideas? Is there anyone who has successfully done this?
Thanks,
- TimI just tried using a proportional font in my editor, and now I'm seeing your runaway-caret problem. Specifically, the caret remains in sync with the text as long as no bold characters are encountered, but it gets noticeably farther out of whack with each bold character it passes. I suspect that, when you measured the charWidth, your FontMetrics object wasn't really based on a bold font, because bold versions of proportional fonts are larger. And of course, the model/view conversion methods assume that the same style of the same font is used throughout the document. I've never had to deal with that problem, since I've always used monospaced fonts by preference, and bold versions of monospaced fonts really are the same size as the non-bold versions. I suggest you do the same, because getting this to work with proportional fonts look like a major hassle.

Enable syntax highlighting with configuration file in emacs
When editing configuration files such as .procmailrc, .fetchmailrc, Emacs won't automatically highlight syntax for me.
I can enable syntax highlighting in Vim by appending "syntax on" to the .vimrc.
I tried adding "global-font-lock-mode t" in the .emacs file, but it didn't solve my problem.
What is the solution?igndenok wrote:
Some of my config file have this (using conf-unix-mode)
# this is .somerc
# -*- conf-unix -*-
Or using this in your .emacs
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.*rc$" . conf-unix-mode))
I followed your advice, and it does have some syntax highlighting, but less than Vim does.
For example, Vim will highlight all the names of colors in the .muttrc file, but Emacs doesn't.
I guess Emacs is not as strong as Vim when it comes to editing configuration files.

Lost syntax highlight in Vim after upgrade
I don't know why, but Vim is not enabling syntax highlight anymore after the upgrade from 7.1.12-1 to 7.1.63-1. I've already searched in Vim's website and with ':help syntax.txt' but no luck. Any guesses?
EDITED:
I figured out part of the problem. I've always used the syntax 'vi filename' to open my files because I knew Vi had a link to Vim. But now it's not linking anymore. Opening files with 'vim filename' gives me the syntax highlight. So I guess the last upgrade had removed the link. Any chances to have it back?
Last edited by alexmatos (2007-08-12 14:07:06)I had the same problem too, but the difference is, I always use vim, but after upgrading Arch I lost syntax highlight. After googling a lot and lurking @ vim sites I finally found the indirect answer here!
I tried the opposite and use vi to open files but bash said vi not found, I did pacman -S vi, and pac said vi is up to date, upgrade? I decided not to believe vi and upgraded, everything's back now.
So thank you for helping without knowing. -
[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 using JTextPane
Hello,
Does somebody know how to achieve quick, efficient syntax highlighting using JTextPane. I have tried it out by actually removing and reinserting the colored text, but it is way too slow. It is worse if I do it in a thread. It will be a great help if somebody bails me out of this problem.
S. Senthil kumarLet me see if I understand your problem...you are attempting to open a fairly large file and then highlight certain portions of the text. You're asking for help on how to efficiently do this and several people gave you links on how to highlight text which leads to your last question about the files taking too long to load. How big are these files you're talking about and how long does it take for them to load? What time is acceptable? Remember, all commercially available document display programs have a certain load time which grows larger as the document it is attempting to display grows in size.

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:

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:

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 -

set runtimepath+=/usr/share/lilypond/2.12.3/vim/
as per instruction given in http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documenta … m/Vim-mode (and the path is correctly modified). But when I open a lilypond file (with the correct .ly suffix) all I get is black and white. What's the problem?
[EDIT: Oh heck, nevermind! Apparently I was getting too tired to read instructions properly. Was missing the ~/.vim/filetype.vim file described in the above link.]
Last edited by lotuskip (2010-04-12 18:33:42)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"

Repainting question for my syntax highlighter
Hello there,
I have a syntax highlighter which reuses much of the very useful code developed by Claude Dugauy, which can be found at http://www.fawcette.com/javapro/2003_07/magazine/columns/visualcomponents/default_pf.aspx
. The syntax highlighting uses regular expressions, so its easily extendable to meet your needs.
However, there is one problem: whenever the user presses a key, the whole of the TextPane containing the highlighted text, is repainted in its entirety. This is fine for small amounts of text to be highlighted, but is very slow when it comes to 1000+ lines.
Please could someone be so excellent as to tell me how to go about addressing this problem, so that only a small amount of text is repainted whenever the user types something into the TextPane e.g. that inside the current viewport, or just the last typed word - thus removing this problem of inefficiency.
Thanks in advance,
Edd.I don't think it's going to be that easy. Every time a change is made, the default style is applied to the whole document, then the whole document is copied into a String so it can be reparsed and have the syntax styles applied again. Even if you could limit what actually gets painted, you'd still have all that unnecessary work going on.
You could try forcing the highlighter to only reparse a portion of the document--like,say, a hundred lines before and after the point where the edit occurred--but deciding exactly where to start and stop can be pretty tricky. -
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 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.TheGrandNabib wrote:
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.
