TeX + Metapost syntax highlighting in Vim

TeX + Metapost syntax highlighting in Vim

[Mojca Miklavec]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1189 bytes --]


In case someone finds this experimental piece of code for highlighting 
metapost inside ConTeXt useful, put:

   " ConTeXt
   augroup filetypedetect
     au! BufRead,BufNewFile *.tex    setfiletype context
   augroup END

somewhere to your filetype.vim (probably after TeX) and move the 
attached file to syntax\context.vim.

If you have something like
\startMPpage
draw ...
\stopMPpage,
it will do the syntax highligting for metapost inside the \start-\stop pair.

There are still some "bugs" present (see comments in file), but I don't 
know how yet to get rid of them.

I downloaded SpellChecker and SuperTab (autocomplete) today from the vim 
website and it works great! (see http://contextgarden.net/Vim and feel 
free to add any useful stuff there)

I was astonished as I saw autocomplete work. There are only a couple of 
lines with an extraordinary functionality. I think that if someone 
writes a good script to convert texshow to vim syntax highlighting 
script, than autocomplete will be able to provide good hints for all the 
existing commands in ConTeXt and the corresponding parameters. I'll try 
to see what I can do, but please don't excpect any results too soon.

Mojca,

just wonderful to see that there's another ConTeXt user who likes  
vim! Though I'm basically an emacs person, there are some editing  
tasks I like to do with vim - the line numbering alone is wonderful,  
there is no equivalent in emacs (and I've tried quite a lot of  
things!). So cheers to you. So far, I've basically been working with  
vim-latex, gnashing my teeth from time to time (oh the way they  
hijacked the alt key!). I've just added support for typesetting with  
texexec by adding this line to texrc:

TexLet g:Tex_CompileRule_cont = 'texexec --pdf --nonstopmode $*'

But I for one would be extremely happy if someone more knowledgeable  
would add proper ConTeXt support to vim the way Berend and Patrick  
added ConTeXt support to AucTeX!

Best

It's nice to have a set of macros/mapping for ConTeXt some where so

I've tried setnu.el, setnu+.el (or somesuch), and as soon as you add  
lines in the midst of a paragraph and then make emacs refill the  
paragraph, line numbers will not work anymore. It's especially  
annoying when you yank a number of lines into a paragraph. That's  
wrong with this solution. Vim is impeccable in this regard.

What is the syntax? I can exten ctstools to spit out a vim keyword table; it 
already handles scite, jedit and bbedit so adding vim is not undoable

That's a great idea, I'll add that to my version

Version 7 has a spell-checker built in.

There's always the ever-simple CTRL-P/CTRL-N as well.

Download vim and run :help syntax.  But the short version is

syn keyword contextKeyword  ...
            ^-- group name  ^-- keywords

But that won't work for stuff beginning with \\.  Then you'll have to
use regexes and

syn match   contextKeyword  ...
                            ^-- regex

Exactly what kind of keyword table are we talking about?,

That's great! I didn't know that. Some time ago some people were
asking about ConTeXt support for vim, but I don't remember any
responses.

I like the "contains=@NoSpell" syntax and there are much more
highlights in your code.

Quite some pieces of code can still be added of course, but writing a
good syntax highlighting scheme may become almost as is almost as
tricky as writing a compiler for it :)

\title, \subject, ... can be added
Maybe some more extensive support for math as well ...

Probably the opinions on what "bloated" means differ at that point. I
find it very useful if wrong brackets or any other suspicious code is
marked as an error before the compiler has to tell me that (and for an
unexperienced user it is very difficult to find such a mistake from
compiler messages). I'm very glad that your code got rid of LaTeX
commands, but I find it great if we keep extending the code.

Moreover, I even wanted to have command-specific code highlighting.
ConTeXt has a big advantage over LaTeX: the central development. So
theoretically it would be possible to highlight any known command
different as the unknown (user-defined or misspelled) ones. PostScript
syntax highlighting script in vim does exactly that for example.

I wanted to suggest to make a cont-en.vim (cont-nl.vim, ..., maybe
also tex-plain.vim) file with all the known ConTeXt commands. I don't
know vim that well. I can imagine that this would cause some problems
on slower machines, but including it would only be left as an option.

I made some corrections to it (off-list), but it is still far away
from being perfect. If you know how to correct some pecculiarities
mentioned in the comments, please do so and then adapt the code to fit
into your highlighting script.

It would be great if someone could give some hints about which
commands switch the mode of typesetting:

- startformula ... \stopformula
- startbuffer ... \stopbuffer (I would highlight the content for
"buffer" as a string)
- \start???MP??? ...\stop???MP???
- start???XML??? ... \stop???XML???

> Version 7 has a spell-checker built in.

I noticed that. But I suppose I'll wait for an official version of Vim
to come out. "contains=@NoSpell" should probably also be added to
mp.vim and mf.vim.

I just noticed that autocomplete is in no way as clever as
syntax-highlighting is. It would be great if there would exist a
similar support as the one for Java in Eclipse (only the keywords that
make sense in the current context are offered for autocompletion). An
example would be: if someone writes
    \adaptlayout[<ctrl-something>
only the options height= and lines= would be offered.
But at that point I have to answer to myself: "dream on!" It is
probably possible, but too complex at this moment.

My most optimistic version: [all] of the commands defined in ConTeXt
(see also the comments above), together with some additional checking
if \start-s have their corresponding \stop-s and if parameters in the
brackets are applicable for the command they belong too.
    \adaptlayout[lines=30,somestupidparameter=1]
would thus highlight the valid "lines=" different from "somestupidparameter=1"
    \setupblackrules[alternative=c]
would mark "c" as invalid (only a and b are possible).

And already the first obstacle I came across: How can I define a
regexp matching the
    [ ... ]
area? Note that \firstcommand[ command={\secondcommand[x]}, text=$]$ ]

Quite some work to do ... but perhaps doable one day unless Vim is too
slow to process all that. No other highlighting script is as huge is
this one would be.


The first and most primitive step towards this is (as Nikolai wrote)
simply listing:
syn match   contextKeyword  ...
                            ^-- regex
for every ConTeXt command.
mf.vim and mp.vim are both defined that way. They only highlight the
keywords, they don't care about the syntax.

Hi,
Just tested your context.vim under vim 6.3.x; It's better than
tex/latex standard syntax in vim 6.3 IMHO.

I have only a small remark: The following code is valid in ConTeXt:

\useURL [book-ns-openssl][http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/059600270X/qid%3D1024342376/103-8123753-9606263][][Network
Security with OpenSSL]

but the syntax considers % like a comment mark, so I see another color
for the text after %.
It's possible to make the comment pattern smarter ? :)

Hm, probably not.  The problem with TeX is that it's so goddam flexible
when it comes to "syntax".  The whole deal with turning $ on and off, %
into something else, and so on is really hard to capture in a syntax
highlighter.  To do so successfully, the highlighter would more or less
have to parse the TeX document itself to understand when and where to do
what.  I guess special cases like the one above (with a very weird URL
indeed) so that \useURL would be parsed differently, but it's impossible
to always get these things right,

Actually, yes, there is.  Wait for me to get a new version sent upstream
to the Vim 7 CVS, add the following to your vimrc, and cheer:

This will make it so that comments must be at the beginning of the line
or be preceded by a white-space,
