Syntax highlighting for C-code

Syntax highlighting for C-code

[Richard Weickelt]

Hi,

I've tried to include some C-code into my document, but failed to enable 
syntax highlighting.

Tested on: linux-64, context-2011.05.18 (same with the beta) stand-alone mkIV

1) \starttyping[option=C] just prints verbatim text. There seems to be no 
formatter for C out of the box.

2) t-vim did not work. It failed somewhere (unknown command sequence 
\installspacehandler) on loading (\usemodule[vim])

3) http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Verbatim_text
I tried to download pret-c and put it into the modules folder, but writing 
\installprettytype[C][C] failed, because it's not known (in mkIV).

4) mkII does not complain to exec \installprettytype[C][C], but this does 
not change anything either. \starttyping[option=C] seems to call a (maybe 
builtin?) formatter, but I could not get colors to work.

I'm also lost in the documentation, because there are many places talking 
about syntax-highlighting. Does this thing work for anybody or is ist just 
my installation?

Thanks
Richard

Usually, t-vim works quite well. Perhaps it's just broken with your
particular context version.

Should work with an old context version (end of 2010).

You can also try

In the current beta, \installspacehandler has been renamed to 
\installspacemethod. So, saying

\let\installspacehandler\installspacemethod

before loading vim module should fix this bug (untested).

However, since buffers are also broken in the current beta (see other 
messages), t-vim (and t-filter) will not work with the current beta. 
I'll check and upload a new version of the module, but you'll have to wait 
until Hans uploads a new beta to get everything working.

There is no formatter for C code in MkIV but when you write one send the file to Hans and he can include it in the distribution.

MkII and MkIV have different implementation to format source code.

The following is MkII only. There are two ways to have formatted C code, the first is to define a C environment with \definetype[C][option=C] and then you can put the code between \startC and \stopC, the second is to use the normal typing environment and pass “option=C” as argument. To get colors in your code you have to enable them first with \setupcolors[state=start].

% engine=pdftex

\setupcolors[state=start]

\definetyping[C][option=C]

\starttext

\startC
#include<stdio.h>
 
int main()
{
   printf("Hello World\n");
   return 0;
}
\stopC

\blank[2*line]

\starttyping[option=C]
#include<stdio.h>
 
int main()
{
   printf("Hello World\n");
   return 0;
}
\stoptyping

\stoptext
