How to I use Textmate color themes with vim?

I have a textmate color theme I really like this, But I am a hardcore vim user. Is there an easy (painless) way for me to use this color scheme with vim?

How can I highlight XML on the command line?

How can I highlight XML from stdin (e.g. piped from xmllint --format) to stdout?

I know how to get highlighting working in nano and view, but is there something that just outputs to stdout and exits?

What I'd link to do is just type something like

xmllint --format xmlfile.xml | some-highlighter

or maybe, for big files

xmllint --format xmlfile.xml | some-highlighter | less

and get pretty output.

Is it possible Notepad++ to change the theme based on current filetype

For example, if I open a text file, notepad++ would open it in 'default' theme. But if I open a php file for instance, it would open it in 'custom_theme1'. I know notepad++ is highly extensible, so I wasn't sure if anybody had ever run across a plugin that could do it. Or could a plugin even be written to do this?

How to change the syntax highlighting style in Meld

Meld 1.5.1 uses gtksourceview (via pygtksourceview) for its syntax-highlighting, however I'm unable to figure out how to configure it to use a specific style (color scheme/theme) from the ones available to gtksourceview.

Maybe the solution is outside of meld - eg, settings the default style used for gtksourceview in general, or something similar.

How to interrupt emacs when control-g does not work in very large files?

I've run into some kind of O(n^2) or worse behavior when viewing very large (e.g. 128MB) files in Emacs and jumping to the end of the file. I think it may have to do with my coloring algorithm to color the text contextually. If I type control-g (keyboard-quit), the operation is not affected. I'd like some way to recover my emacs session without just killing it. I tried sending a SIGINT, but emacs just exited. Are there any signals I can send, or some other way (perhaps in a debugger) to force the whatever action is running to give up and return control to me?

How can I copy text with syntax-highlighting from Notepad++? [duplicate]

I have an XML snippet in Notepad++ that I would like to share with a co-worker via email. In Notepad++ the syntax highlighting nicely shows off the elements and attributes. Here is a sample picture:

When I copy/paste this in Outlook only the text comes over. The Outlook email is set to HTML. I have also verified in Word only the text is pasted.

There are separate Copy to Clipboard menu items but they look focused on filenames. Is there an option or extension that will copy the formatting as well as the text?

Custom vim highlighting

I am editing some xml right now and I have been leaving myself some comments of things to come back to. Like this

<!-- Question: bla bla -->

I am editing with vim right now and I would like vim to highlight Question right now so that I can easily look through my code and find all the places I need to look at. I know I need to add something in my vimrc but I think that I might be searching for the wrong thing.

Update

I tried putting this in my .vimrc but it had no effect:

syn keyword JakeAnnotation      Question

hi JakeAnnotation gui=bold term=bold cterm=bold

Update 2

Actually I can see that what I did before had some effect because when I do this:

:hi

It shows me all of the things that it is highlighting and one of the entries is:

JakeAnnotation xxx term=bold cterm=bold ctermbg=6

(and the xxx is formatted correctly)

This leads me to beleave that I am just not defining Question properly. Does Question need to be on a line by itself?

Update 3

Ok so to user 22303's post I have this working:

highlight MyQuestion cterm=bold term=bold ctermbg=blue ctermfg=black
match MyQuestion /Question/

However I suspect that you are only allowed to have one match per file. Because when I do this:

highlight MyQuestion cterm=bold term=bold ctermbg=blue ctermfg=black
match MyQuestion /Question/
highlight MyRelook cterm=bold term=bold ctermbg=blue ctermfg=black
match MyRelook /Another look/

The first one stops working. (But the second one works).

Color coded Windows 7 Preview Pane?

Customizing what files you can preview is cool, but is there a way to create a custom preview extension to add syntax highlighting? I have many .h, .c, .cpp, .cs and .java files on my windows machine and it would be nice to have the syntax highlighting available via explorer's new preview pane.

How do I enable syntax highlighting for .bash_aliases in vim?

I'm working on reorganizing my .bashrc. I moved my aliases to .bash_aliases (which is sourced by .bashrc, but I can't figure out how to enable syntax highlighting for this file. vim seems unable to figure out what language the file is in. It works fine for .bashrc. Any ideas?

Vim highlighting for specific file types (where to put syntax files, vim events, line to put into vimrc)

I have defined a file time jak.vim to offer custom highlighting when I take notes, however it is being applied to some files that do not have the .jak extension. Specifically a file named progress.jlog. Just to test if the problem was specific to that extension I renamed progress.jlog to progress (no extension) but experienced the same problem.

What I did:

• I created jak.vim in the directory ~/.vim/ftdetect
• I added this line: "au BufRead, BufNewFile *.jak set filetype=jak" to the top as described in the vim reference
• I restarted vim (:x, and then reopened)

This is what my ~/.vim/ftdetect/jak.vim looks like:

~/.vim/ftdetect][505]% cat jak.vim
au BufRead, BufNewFile *.jak set filetype=jak

syn region JakeSubtitle start=+==+ end=+==+
highlight JakeSubtitle ctermbg=black ctermfg=DarkMagenta

syn region JakeTitle start=+===+ end=+===+
highlight JakeTitle ctermbg=black ctermfg=yellow

syn region JakeMasterTitle start=+====+ end=+====+
highlight JakeMasterTitle cterm=bold term=bold ctermbg=black ctermfg=LightBlue

syn region emphasis start=+<em>+ end=+</em>+
highlight emphasis ctermbg=black ctermfg=yellow

" makes all of the numbered items bold."
" (this works I just don't like the effect.  Decided to change to just highlight the "number)
"syn region numberedItem start=+^\t*\d*)+ end=+\n+"
syn match numberedItem +^\t*\d*)+
highlight numberedItem cterm=bold

And just incase you need to know this is what my .vimrc looks like:

~/.vim/ftdetect][508]% cat ../../.vimrc
"on will override defaults set.  Enable will allow you to set defaults."
" also turns on filetype"
"syntax on"
syntax enable

set nocompatible

" ???"

Update

I found nsharish's post to be very helpfull. They suggested that I add this to my vimrc:

au BufRead,BufNewFile *.jak set filetype=jak

and add my jak.vim file to ~/.vim/syntax

Unfortunately that code conflicts with these two lines (in my vimrc)

au BufWinLeave *.c mkview
au BufWinEnter *.c silent loadview

I use these two to save my folds, cursor location, etc when loading vim (see :help lo). If I comment out those two lines nsharish's suggestion works like a charm. With those two lines there is no highlighting in any of my files.

Conclusion

I marked nsharish's answer as the best answer (because it as most helpful to me). However this is how I solved the problem:

Nsharish was right I needed this line in my .vimrc:

syntax enable
au BufRead,BufNewFile *.jak set filetype=jak

And I needed to move my jak.vim file to ~/.vim/syntax.

However as noted above there was a conflict with these lines:

au BufWinLeave * mkview
au BufWinEnter * silent loadview

When these lines were commented the highlighting worked.

What I needed to do was to change the ...set filetype... to this:

au BufWinEnter,BufRead,BufNewFile *.jak set filetype=jak

I think that the BufWinEnter is called after the BufRead/BufNew file so the highlighting was being overwritten by the formatting saved from last time.

Thank again to nsharish for helping me to come up with this solution.

Convert HTML to image

Background

Batch convert various syntax-highlighted source files (C, SQL, Java, PHP, batch, bash) into high-resolution images (600dpi), suitable for an eBook and printed book.

Failed Solutions

A number of attempts so far:

• OpenOffice or LibreOffice - Have to re-import source code into the document every time the source file changes. (That is, the solution cannot be easily automated for hundreds or thousands of source files.)
• enscript. Cannot easily change colours, imperfectly renders output, not comprehensive.
• LyX / LaTeX. Imperfectly renders output.
• gvim to HTML — HTMLDOC to PostScript — GhostScript to PNG. HTMLDOC ignores font tags.
• gvim to HTML — html2ps — GhostScript to PNG. RGB colours are not recognized by html2ps.
• Firefox to PostScript — GhostScript to PNG. Obnoxiously circuitous.
• gvim to HTML — OmniFormat to anything. Free version unsuitable for batch processing; lots of advertising pop-ups.
• pygments. Cannot easily change image resolution; does not have gvim's range of colour schemes.

Closest Solution

The solution that almost works is:

• gvim to HTML — wkhtmltopdf to PDF. Will require post-processing with ImageMagick (wkhtmltoimage cannot set image resolution, only page width).

Requirements

• Windows and Linux, but either is acceptable.
• Free or OSS
• Command line only (suitable for batch processing)
• Easily change colour scheme
• Support: PHP, batch, bash, Java, JavaScript, R, C, and SQL

Question

Any other ways to convert syntax-highlighted source code to a high-resolution (600dpi) image?

Thank you!
