Syntax highlighting for C-code

[Richard Weickelt <richard@weickelt.de>]

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
