text-vimcolor is a command-line program to syntax color a file in HTML, XML or PDF.

SYNOPSIS

$ text-vimcolor --format html --full-page FILENAME > OUTPUT.html
$ text-vimcolor --format xml FILENAME > OUTPUT.xml
$ text-vimcolor --format pdf FILENAME --output OUTPUT.pdf

This program uses the Vim text editor to highlight text according to its syntax, and turn the highlighting into HTML, XML or PDF output. It works with any file type which Vim itself can highlight. Usually Vim will be able to autodetect the file format based on the filename (and sometimes the contents of the file).

Exactly one filename should be given on the command line to name the input file. If none is given input will instead be read from stdin (the standard input).
If Vim cant guess the file type automatically, it can be specified explicitly using the --filetype option. For example:

$ text-vimcolor --format html --filetype prolog foo.pl > foo.html

This program is a command line interface to the Perl module Text::VimColor.

OPTIONS

The following options are understood:

--help

Show a summary of the usage, including a list of options.

--debug

Turns on debugging in the underlying Perl module. This makes it print the command used to run Vim.

--filetype file-type

Set the type of the file explicitly. The file-type argument should be something which Vim will recognise when set with its filetype option. Examples are perl, cpp (for C++) and sh (for Unix shell scripts). These names are case sensitive, and should usually be all-lowercase.

--format output-format

The output format to generate. Must be one of the following:
html

Generate XHTML output, with text marked with elements with class attributes. A CSS stylesheet should be used to define the coloring, etc., for the output. See the --full-page option below.

xml

Output is in a simple XML vocabulary. This can then be used by other software to do further transformations (e.g., using XSLT).

pdf

XML output is generated and fed to the FOP XSL-FO processor, with an appropriate XSL style sheet. The stylesheet uses XSLT to transform the normal XML output into XSL-FO, which is then rendered to PDF. For this to work, the command fop must be available. An output file must be specified with --output with this format.

Full details of the HTML and XML output formats can be found in the documentation for Text::VimColor.

--output output-filename

Specifies the name of the output file (which will end up containing either HTML, XML or PDF). If this option is omitted, the output will be sent to stdout (the standard output). This option is required when the output format is PDF (because of limitations in FOP).

--full-page

When the output format is HTML, this option will make the output a complete HTML page, rather than just a fragment of HTML. A CSS stylesheet will be inserted inline into the output, so the output will be useable as it is.

--no-inline-stylesheet

When the output format is HTML and --fullpage is given, a stylesheet is normally inserted in-line in the output file. If this option is given it will instead be referenced with a element.

--let name=value

When Vim is run the value of name will be set to value using Vims let command. More than one of these options can be set. The value is not quoted or escaped in any way, so it can be an expression. These settings take precedence over --unlet options.

This option corresponds to the vim_let setting and method in the Perl module.

--unlet name

Prevent the value of name being set with Vims let command. This can be used to turn off default settings.

This option corresponds to the vim_let setting and method in the Perl module, when used with a value of undef.

Curses::UI::TextEditor module can create and manipulate texteditor widgets.

CLASS HIERARCHY

Curses::UI::Widget
Curses::UI::Searchable
|
+----Curses::UI::TextEditor

SYNOPSIS

use Curses::UI;
my $cui = new Curses::UI;
my $win = $cui->add(window_id, Window);

my $editor = $win->add(
myeditor, TextEditor,
-vscrollbar => 1,
-wrapping => 1,
);

$editor->focus();
my $text = $editor->get();

Curses::UI::TextEditor is a widget that can be used to create a couple of different kinds of texteditors. These are:

multi-line texteditor

This is a multi-line text editor with features like word-wrapping, maximum textlength and undo.

single-line texteditor

The texteditor can be created as a single-line editor. Most of the features of the default texteditor will remain. Only the multi-line specific options will not be available (like moving up and down in the text).

read only texteditor

The texteditor can also be used in read only mode. In this mode, the texteditor will function as a text viewer. The user can walk through the text and search trough it.

See exampes/demo-Curses::UI::TextEditor in the distribution for a short demo of these.

RText is a fully customizable programmers text editor.
Main features:
- Syntax Highlighting is actively being developed. Currently supported languages are Assembler, X86 assembler, C, C++, C#, Fortran, Java, JavaScript, Perl, HTML, SAS, SQL, Windows batch, UNIX shell, and XML (screenshot). RText will support more languages in the not-too-distant future. RText is also capable of bracket matching, highlighting the current line, and displaying a margin line to help you with your programming.
- Macro support allows you to perform complex editing tasks quickly and in an automated fashion.
- CTags support if you have Exhuberant CTags installed in your machine (regular UNIX ctags wont cut it). With the "Source Browser" you can see a list of functions, variables, etc. in the current source, allowing you to quickly jump to a function definition, insert a method name at the caret position, and other handy stuff.
- File encodings are supported. Open and edit files in any encoding supported by your JVM.
- Edit multiple documents simultaneously through a tabbed, list, or traditional MDI interface. No need to open multiple instances of the application to edit multiple documents.
- Code Templates allow you to associate short identifiers with longer phrases/code blocks you frequently type to speed up time spent banging at the keys.
- Find/Find Next/Replace/Replace Next dialogs make searching for text easy, and include such options as Match Case, Whole Word Only, Use Regular Expressions, and Mark All (screenshot).
- Find in Files dialog allows you to search for a given string or regular expression in any group of files or directories on your computer (screenshot).
- Unlimited Undo/Redo actions ensure you will never make a mistake you cant recover from.
- Print and Print Preview functionality allow you to create hard copies of your documents with ease (screenshot).
- Auto-Reload. RText will sense if a document you have open in RText is modified by another program, and ask you whether you want to reload the document.
- Customizable user interface allow you to have your editor look the way you want it to. Change such features as the Java Look and Feel, the view style, the icon set used in menus and on the toolbar, the font, the background (choose a color or a picture from your computer), the colors used for syntax highlighting, and more.
- Help documentation similar to HTML Help found in many Microsoft Windows applications provides you with assistance if you should need it (screenshot).
- Cross-platform. Since RText is written in Java, it can be run on any platform supporting version 1.4 or greater of the Java Runtime Environment.
Enhancements:
- This release allows you to set the line terminator used for new files ("General" panel in the Options dialog), cleans up some unnecessary code, removes some unimplemented menu items unintentionally left around in the last release, and updates the translations.

Metawriter provides an editor for interlinked texts.

It is useful for writing highly structured documentation, or creating a mindmap with link tracking.

Each text is given a name, a title, a group, and a state marker.

The content syntax is similar to that used by a Wiki.

FreeDOS was previously known as "Free-DOS" and originally as "PD-DOS." For a little trip down memory lane: In 1994, I was a physics student at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. Most of my work for school had been done using DOS - writing programs, dialing up to the university computer, network, analysing lab data, etc. I really loved DOS; I did everything with it. I had a 386 desktop system in my dorm room and an XT laptop that I would carry around with me to do work "on the go".

GNU ed is a line-oriented text editor. GNU ed is used to create, display, modify and otherwise manipulate text files, both interactively and via shell scripts.
A restricted version of `ed, `red, can only edit files in the current directory and cannot execute shell commands. `ed is the `standard text editor in the sense that it is the original editor for Unix, and thus widely available.
Enhancements:
- The testsuite now exits unsuccesfully in case of error.
- Some minor problems in the manual page have been fixed.
- The GFDL has been added to the info file.
