(again) issues with typing

(again) issues with typing

[Pablo Rodriguez]

Dear list,

sorry for insisting, but I need to solve this.

I have to explain to newcomers (in my Spanish introduction to ConTeXt)
what comments are and multiple lines don’t affect the final PDF document.

I have the following sample:

    \setuptyping[lines=yes]
    \starttext
    \startTEXpage[offset=1em]
    \startTEX
    This is text. % and this is a comment
    \stopTEX

    \startXML
    <p>This is text.<!--and this is a comment--></p>
    \stopXML

    \startLUA
    if code=="code" then --this is a comment

    --[[
    this is a

    multiline comment
    --]]

    ---[[
    this isn’t a


    multiline comment
    --]]
    \stopLUA
    \stopTEXpage
    \stoptext

I have three questions:

1. How do I enable that multiple blank lines are displayed as more than
a single one?

The Lua code contains one, two and three blank lines and they are
displayed always as separation from single lines.

I thought lines=yes should do that, but it doesn’t.

2. I accidentally discovered that the block comment opening (--[[)
removes break with next line. I think it should be fixed.

3. The most important issue is that the whole comment (both markers and
content) is displayed with \darkyellow.

I wonder why comments aren’t display in typing as in any other editor.
All comment characters should be displayed the same, since none of them
would affect to the final output.

How can I get the same color for the whole comment (again, both markers
and content)?

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

I don't know how to answer your questions with the default syntax 
highlighting in ConTeXt, but are you willing to consider t-vim module for 
typesetting code. The output for your example is attached.

All you need to do is add the following in the document preamble:

\usemodule[vim]
\definevimtyping[TEX][syntax=context]
\definevimtyping[XML][syntax=xml]
\definevimtyping[LUA][syntax=lua]

If you have lot of code snippets, you may want to create a directory to 
store temporary files. You can do this using

\setupvimtyping[directory=output]

and then create a directory called "output" in the folder from which you 
run ConTeXt.

For such a document, it can be very useful to put code snippets into
buffers and then use
\typeTEXbuffer
or
\typeLUAbuffer
and then
\getbuffer

Many thanks for your reply, Aditya,

your t-vim module is really useful, but I’m afraid it isn’t what I needed.

I have to use \xmlprettyprinttext (input sources for most of my
documents in ConTeXt are XML files).

Besides, I think that the code highlighting in ConTeXt is clearer than
the one that vim provides.

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

Many thanks for your reply, Alan.

I use buffers and ConTeXt types them. But I don’t want to provide
compiled examples (\getbuffer).

I have two reasons for that:

The first one is to motivate the user to try it.

The second one is that I also offer the document in ePub format.

Many thanks for your advice,

Pablo
