All the cool people have syntax highlighters and I want to be cool so I looked around for a good highlighter for mephisto. Dan Webb’s Plugin looked neat so I installed that. The included regular expressions for ruby were leaving out symbols and instance vars but this guy had a patch for that which apparently is already in the trunk version. You will have to create your own css.

# Here's some example's
def initialize(args)
  @polarity = args[:polarity]
  @actions = args[:actions]
  @decider = args[:decider]
end

  # Nice
oooooh = "aaaaah"

module Syntax
  class Color
    def smile
      puts ":)"
    end
    def frown
      puts ":("
    end
  end
end

Syntax::Color.new.smile

As you can see it’s not perfect yet but it’s better than nothing. Just a few lines of javascript regexp can simulate Matt’s 8000 line parser, sort of.
