How can I add support for C code highlighting to Sam or Acme?

Re: [9fans] code highlighting

you can use { and tab to make your code visually more appealing. if
that's not enough use eclipse or read the code.

in Acme doubleclick on any of { [ ( < or > ) ] } braces/brackets/parens.

Acme will select (highlight) the area between this and the matching open/close 
element.

 - use left/right arrow keys to go to the other open/close element
 - use Backspace to delete the selected content
 - just type to replace the selected content
 - use`Edit' to manipulate only the selected content

for example, to increase or decrease indentation of the selection only:
Edit s,^\t,\t\t,g
Edit s,^\t,,g

(where \t should be entered as Tab)



FWIW, i was missing syntax highlighting for about one month of using Acme. 
since then i like it black.

using a custom font helps: http://mirtchovski.com/p9/freetype/index.php

perhaps this discussion about acme might be of interest...
(this points at Russ' contribution in the otherwise longer thread)

[9fans] Custom font (was: code highlighting)

[dexen deVries]

https://github.com/dexen/plan9port-custom/tree/dexen/font/dejavu-sans-subpix-
rgb

Dejavu Sans, sizes 10...17, with slight antialiasing.

size 16 looks good on 2048x1152 23'' displays.

gotta disappoint you: it's plan9port Acme, running on Linux + X11

from lspci:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV516 [Radeon 
X1300/X1550 Series]
01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV516 [Radeon X1300 Pro] 
(Secondary)

btw., the X.org driver has a funny bug: heavy glitches if virtual desktop size 
is >= 4096. i had to configure the virtual desktop as `display under display' 
of 2048x2304 rather than `display next to display' of 4096x1152. even thou 
physically they are one under the other.

Nice post, I've saved it for my own reference. I'd only disagree with point 14; customizing acme's colors in the source is trivial, easier than rio, although it reminds me I should ed-script the color patches on my system. Also...

That's what I do. As well as ^F I appreciate deeply-nested system dirs
all having 3-character names, typing them becomes a rhythm. Even so,
with my fingers it's still not very convenient on a bad day. I keep
meaning to try Xplor.
