vim syntax highlighting in MKIV

vim syntax highlighting in MKIV

[Martin 'golodhrim' Scholz]

Hi Hans, Mojca, Aditya and List,

just tried to use the vim Syntax Highlighting module in ConTeXt MKIV, but 
if running the documents complains it searches a file called

	filename-vimsyntax.tmp-vimsyntax.tmp

sure that file not exists but there is a file called

	filename-vimsyntax.tmp

is there a way to do a workaround so that the vim Syntaxhighlighting 
module would work in MKIV or does it need to be rewriten completedly?

Greetings

probably something that M or A can fix easily

Something changed in mtxrun ...

Earlier (checked on the 2009.12.31) if I used

mtxrun bin:vim kpse:2context.vim

the "kpse:2context.vim" was expanded to the full path of 2context.vim. 
Now (in 2010.06.20), "kpse:2context.vim" expands to "tree://<full-path>". 
Of couse, vim does not understand the tree:// prefix and cannot load the 
file. Is there an option to avoid the tree:// prefix?

Almost all the errors in t-vim over the years have due to trying to 
support kpse: directive. (The errors were not a fault of ConTeXt, but the 
way quotes are handled by cmd.exe and the various shells in *nix. I still 
haven't figured out a syntax that works with all shells). This makes me 
wonder whether it was a good idea to make vim module work out of the box. 
Perhaps a more robust alternative was to ask the uses to copy 2context.vim 
to $HOME/.vim/scripts/ and forget about getting mtxrun to locate the file. 
What do others think?

Aditya

In the spirit of MkIV, I have attempted to redo the vim module from 
scratch.

http://github.com/adityam/filter

Download t-vim.tex t-filter.tex and 2context.vim. For testing just place 
them in the current directory.

This new version is delegates the task of creating external files and 
running vim to get syntax highlighting to t-filter. It reads the file 
under a restrictive catcode regime... so 2context.vim only has to escape a 
few characters: \ { }, everything else has a catcode other (except space 
and newline which are active).

Currently, this new module only supports

* syntax highlighting (syntax=filetype)

* two color schemes (alternative=pscolor and alternative=blackandwhite)

* specifying start and stop lines (start=... , stop=...)

An additional feature is that the module stores the md5 sums of all files, 
and runs vim only if the file has changed. So, this should be 
significantly faster than the old module.

Difference

* No \typevimfile... instead \definevimtyping[whatever] creates a command
\typewhateverfile that can be used as
 	\typewhateverfile[options][file]

* Currently, no support for line numbering, although that should be easy 
to add now.

* No support for active spaces yet.

* Most importantly, this only runs under MkIV. That is because 
\doprocesslocalsetups is not defined in MkII.

Hans, can you add the definition of \doprocesslocalsetups to MkII?

I have only tested on linux. Testing on other platforms will be 
appreciated (Just run the files under test/vim/).

Aditya

syntax highlightling, and it works, thanks for the fast and professional 
help...

Hello Aditya,

Thanks for these great modules!  It would be nice to make them available in
the minimals!

Cheers, Peter

If you don't matter about performance you can use 
'\processcommacommand[...]\directsetup'

I will add them to the garden, once I the features stabalize a bit.

Hey Aditya,

if you keep them sync with your git, I would be proud to announce a 
tester in my person...

Hi Aditya,

Thanks for the great module!

There is a problem using t-vim/t-filter with the current and beta versions
of ConTeXt.
I was trying the Matlab example (tests/vim/matlab.tex), ConTeXt complains
that \startMATLAB is not defined,
but the execution can continue, and the correct pdf is produced.

regards,
shenchen

context’s error message is misleading, the problem appears with the \startMATLAB
command but the undefined control sequence is “\v!unknwon” as shown below the message,
it’s only a typo in the module and the correct value is “\v!unknown”.
