Syntax Highlighting?

[escholtz]

Do you know if anyone has started adding syntax highlighting support for various text editors? My personal interest is for Sublime Text.

[escholtz]

Here is a syntax file I came up with for ST3. Requires GoSublime.

%YAML 1.2
---
# http://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/syntax.html
name: "QuickTemplate"
file_extensions:
  - qtpl
scope: source.qtpl
contexts:
  main:
    - include: scope:text.html.basic
    - match: "{%"
      push: "Packages/GoSublime/syntax/GoSublime-Go.tmLanguage"
      with_prototype:
        - match: "(?=%})"
          pop: true
        - match: "(code|space|elseif|endif|endfor|endfunc|comment|endcomment|plain|endplain|stripspace|endstripspace|collapsespace|endcollapsespace|endswitch)"
          scope: "keyword.other.go"

I'm a Sublime syntax newbie so probably lots of improvements to be made but the basics seem to work (highlighting html, go, and quicktemplate keywords all in the same file).

@escholtz , thanks for the contribution! Just added a link to this issue from the FAQ in the README.md

How about something for vim?

[valyala]

@tobstarr , I'm not familiar with vim syntax highlighting, so contributions are welcome :)

[valyala]

btw, I use vim, so will be very glad if qtpl syntax highlighting for vim is implemented.

@valyala hi i like quicktemplate so much i made a simple syntax highlighter for vim. https://github.com/warbear0129/vim-qtpl

@valyala, @warbear0129's package wasn't working for me and a couple other people. I've submitted a PR that should get it working for most vim runtimes. Also now it works with Vundle and Pathogen.

Thanks to warbear for the syntax file. It just needed some tweaks. If anyone is having issues they can take a look at my fork (if the PR below is not merged)

@valyala Actually a quick update. The other vim-qtpl package was pretty bare on features and html syntax support. I found it better to take the well written and supported vim-go plugin and add support quicktemplate syntax. I've been testing it out and this is a much better approach.

The PR I submitted to vim-go is here: fatih/vim-go#1241

My fork here (until @fatih) merges it in: https://github.com/codelitt/vim-go

Hopefully this is much more helpful.

[tobstarr]

@codelitt that looks pretty cool!

[codelitt]

@tobstarr Thanks! I've been testing it out and it's working very well. Plus it brings all of the awesome things from vim-go to these filetypes (like go fmt)

Re-opened the issue in order to make it more prominent (and it is incomplete yet).
