syntax-highlighting

I watched a video from YUIConf 2012 in which Douglas Crockford gives a talk about implementing monads in JavaScript. In this talk he gives a code example that utilizes what he calls "Context Coloring" which throws out the idea of coloring by language syntax and introduces different colors for different levels of scope. Here is the link to that specific part of the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=dkZFtimgAcM#t=15m58s Is this context coloring scheme implemented by any code editor for JavaScript or any language? I use Sublime Text and this editor like every other

I have a project with a bunch of C++ header files that follow the standard C++ header naming convention; that is, a class called Foo would be declared in a file called Foo , not Foo.h or Foo.hh . Is there a good way to configure vim to do syntax highlighting for these files only? A slightly-less-pleasing fallback would be to enable C++-style highlighting for all files that don't have an extension. I'm not sure if there's any more sophisticated way to detect the type of file instead of relying solely on its extension. You can use the modeline feature for this. Modelines allow you to set certain

I can't remember touching any related configuration, and for no reason, Sublime chooses "LaTeX Log" highlighting syntax as default for *.html files. I opened the Syntax Specific settings file and it's empty (?) What can I do in order to get the proper highlighting for html files automatically? Changing the syntax highlighting for any file type is easy in Sublime. Simply open a file with the extension you want to change, then click on View -> Syntax -> Open all with current extension as... and choose whichever language you wish. This will add the current extension to the "extensions" list in

I asked a developer (TwoLivesLeft, the creators of Codea) how they did syntax highlighting in their app. He replied : @TD2 the Codea editor is implemented using a UITextView. The highlighting is done by overlaying subviews in the appropriate positions — usually UILabels. They are dequeued from a re-use pool, similar to the way UITableViewCells work. During scrolling, the lines requiring re-highlighting pull markers out of the pool and lines that have moved off screen dump their markers back into the pool. Can anyone explain how I would get the x and y of a certain word? UITextView conforms to
