I'm using the latest beta, and I need syntax coloring for SQL (PostgreSQL variant). According to the wiki, there is no SQL syntax coloring available for MKIV yet, but I'd be happy to be wrong :)
If I am not wrong, I'd like to write my own syntax file, but not starting from scratch. I cannot find any pret-* files in the beta, though. Should they be downloaded separately?
just fyi (as aditya already provided you a solution) there are three highlighters - the build-in one, for which one can define additional variants (there are few defined, some assume proper syntax, some are line based) - the module by aditya which (i assume) also needs vim installed - a relative new mechanism based on the scite lexers that i use (for not it is loaded by \usemodule[scite] The last option is supports combined tex/mp/lua as well as xml, web, pdf, bibtex, lua so basically all the formats used by context and i now also added the sql one (i needed that one a while ago but never added it to the upcoming beta) \usemodule[scite] \starttext % \scitebuffer[sql][x] % \scitefile[sql][abc.sql] \startscite[sql] .... \stopscite \stoptext no upload yet btw, there's also: mtxrun --extra=listing --scite --compact foo.sql or whatever known suffix Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
