[ i've augmented pierre's package with some contributions from
Vanessa Conchodon. she has added some more support to the latex
filter, and written a cweb filter. -pgf ]
-----------------------------
Introduction
============
I found c-filt.flex in the vile 5.6 package, corrected and improved it.
I find it very useful and write the other ones for my favourite
languages on the same model.
I've tried to keep a style of coloring (for example, all the comments
in all the filters are on the same colour).
Files
=====
You'll find 5 filters in 5 different files for 5 different languages :
File : Language
c-filt.flex : C/C++
html-filt.flex : HTML
latex-filt.flex : LaTeX
make-filt.flex : Makefile
perl-filt.flex : PERL
a coloration.rc sample who recognize the extension of the file
when you load it in vile and colors it automatically.
and a .Xdefaults sample file.
To use them :
Ex: You want to test the C/C++ filter
1) Compile c-filt.flex with flex (GNU lex). You'll get a lex.yy.c file
2) Compile this file with a C compiler and call it vile-c-filt (for example)
3) Change your coloration.rc file (i put a coloration.rc example file with)
Filters features
================
C/C++ : This filter colors :
+ the preproc commands (#...)
+ C/C++ keywords (auto, break, case, ...) (I think all keywords)
+ C/C++ types (char, int, float, ...)
+ strings ("this is a string")
+ numbers (integer and real)
+ 3 types of comments : + /* comments even on many lines */
+ // comment til the end of the line
+ #if 0
All the lines between these 2.
#endif
HTML : This filters colors :
+ comments (<!-- comment -->)
+ a lot of keywords (I don't have an exhaustive list...)
+ strings ("this is a string")
LaTeX : This filter colors :
+ comments (% til end of line)
+ functions (all word beginning with a \)
+ numbers (integer and real)
Makefile : This filter colors :
+ comments (# til end of line)
+ targets (file: )
+ variables (var= and $(var))
PERL : This filter colors :
+ command line (#!/bin/perl)
+ keywords (the list I have...)
+ comments (# til end of line)
+ numbers (interger and real)
+ variables ($var)
+ string ("string")
Please
======
I'm not God. My filters have certainly bugs.
Send me a mail if you find a problem or a solution.
I will try to answer as fast as possible.
Feel free to distribute these files, to modify them and to send me
new (better) releases.

Thanks to:
* Richard Mitchell (mitchell@osb1.wff.nasa.gov)
The problem I had with the automatic coloration of the file was this :
When you execute xvile with a file which can be colorized :
$ xvile foo.c <-- (example)
The main window is split in two parts and the second part contains a report
of the execution of the source files (including coloration.rc)
Richard Mitchell finds a way to avoid this, just adding the option
:set nopm
(set no popup-msgs) in the .vilerc file.
So, please add the line ":set nopm" in your .vilerc file to suppress
the report window when you execute xvile.
* Frank Sicard (sicard@univ-mlv.fr)
The strings coloration (in C programs) was not good.
The coloration of "Hello, World !" worked
BUT the coloration of "Hello \"World\" !" was not OK because of the
definition of the STRING token in flex files.
There is now a new definition of the STRING token (with help from
Frank Sicard) in two lines :
NOSTRBRK "\\\""
STRING \"([^"]|{NOSTRBRK})*\"
The first line defines what is NOT a string break
The second one is the definition of the STRING
All flex files with the STRING definition have been modified.
