colorized output of ocaml interactive shell

colorized output of ocaml interactive shell

[David MENTRE]

Hello,

I will do a presentation on OCaml soon. I would like to show some
example of interactive sessions in the OCaml interactive environment,
ocaml launched in an XTerm. Does anybody know a program/shell
script/whatever that can produce a nice colorized output (e.g. types)?
Any advice?

Yours,
d.

You could try using the VIm syntax highlighting mode.  You can pipe text
into VIm -- see $VIM/macros/less.sh.

Or you can run an OCaml subshell in Emacs, and get its colorizing.

Or...

http://www.gnu.org/software/src-highlite/source-highlight.html

It only has a CAML mode, but that should be sufficient, no?

What would be really neat would be an equivalent of the excellent ipython 
interactive shell for ocaml.

   http://ipython.scipy.org/

But maybe the ocaml top level lacks python introspection capabilities ...

Best,
