This plugin provides syntax highlighting for literate programming in vim. Currently supported language combinations are listed below.
Please note that the literate variants presume that your Vim already know how to do syntax highlighting for the component languages – it merely binds them together. So if you are missing for example a Coffeescript syntax highlighting definition, the literate Coffeescript won't work either.
-
Literate coffeescript: Coffeescript inside Markdown document.
File names:
*.litcoffee,*.coffee.mdDependecies: Syntax highlighting for Markdown (i.e. tpope/vim-markdown or plasticboy/vim-markdown) and Coffeescript (i.e. kchmck/vim-coffee-script).
Notes: This feature was originally provided by plugin hosted at mintplant/vim-literate-coffeescript, which was removed at some point. It also depended specifically on tpope/vim-markdown plugin, which prevented its use with alternative markdown plugins.
-
File names:
*.{md,mkd,markdown}.lhsDependencies: Syntax highlighting for Markdown and Haskell (distributed with Vim itself).
Notes: The literate Haskell syntax file distributed with Vim assumes that the surrounding document is either TeX, or free-form plain text. This syntax file highlights the surrounding document as markdown, without the relatively complicated guessing the original file does about the document format.
Also note that you should not use ATX style headers (
#before heading text) in the document, as the#is reserved character in Haskell, and ghc refuses to compile files with#at the beginning of line.
Use your favourite vim plugin manager, such as Vundle or Pathogen.
Thanks to Maxy-B on SO, for asking and then answering the question on how to combine multiple syntax highlighting specifications: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5176972/trouble-using-vims-syn-include-and-syn-region-to-embed-syntax-highlighting
