con­text-vim – Gen­er­ate Con­text syn­tax high­light­ing code from vim

ConTeXt has ex­cel­lent pretty print­ing ca­pa­bil­i­ties for many lan­guages. The code for pretty print­ing is writ­ten in TeX, and due to cat­code jug­gling, such ver­ba­tim type­set­ting is per­haps the trick­i­est part of TeX. This makes it dif­fi­cult for a “nor­mal” user to de­fine syn­tax high­light­ing rules for a new lan­guage. This mod­ule takes the onus of defin­ing syn­tax high­light­ing rules away from the user and uses ViM ed­i­tor to gen­er­ate the syn­tax high­light­ing. There is a helper 2con­text.vim script to do the syn­tax pars­ing in ViM.
