Im in the situation that I often send small codesnippets and xml-snippets to coworkers and partners via my outlook.
Has anyone got a good idea or tool that I can use to have my pastes syntaxhighlighted before I paste them into an email.
I was thinking of an intermediate paste to "$fancytool" and then I would have something to copy that will htmlified so I can copy paste it into the "compose email" window.
Edit-More-info:
Im pasting from windows within a VMWare virtual Machine, it might be eclipse, xmlspy, logfiles and other programs
Even-more-info:
I've seen this link how to do it from Vim. Unfortunately it seldom from vim im copying Code, and my email machine hasnt got any vim. The vmware machines has gvim, but I was hoping for an easier way that pasting to vim, saving to file, opening in internetexplorer and then copy/paste
Late but I can give an answer that works.
You need 2 things
putty
access to some Unix server (With vim)
In putty options, Under window → selection , turn the check box on for
Paste in to clipboard in RTF as well as plain text.
Log on to the server using putty.
start vim by typing vim
Paste your text (for example XML ) in to vim.
enter command mode (of vim by pressing ESC) and type
:set syn=xml.
Syntax highlighting kicks in.
Copy the text using mouse and paste it into your email.
5 years too late, sorry, but I've a much simpler solution than the accepted answer.
Use this online tool: http://tohtml.com/
copy the preview from your browser window and just paste into Word or Outlook.
Vim (or GVim) will output your code as formatted HTML. Then as long as your email is using an HTML format you can copy and paste it in.
Just an update on this matter, if you're on Windows, you can install Notepad++ (which is one of the best windows editors anyway), it comes out of the box with a plugin for this: "Copy text with Syntax Highlighting", when you select some text and right click on it.
If you just want the Add-In here it is.
If you want to know how it is done, here is an article on how to write the Add-In.
Comment: svrist mentioned a code paste site with syntax highlighting. Try http://codepad.org/
(don't have enough mojo to comment yet)
This link led me to SciTE.
Looks like SciTE has a Copy to RTF feature:
Edit(vmware upgrade):
But it looks like I am pretty much lost when I use vmware because I cant transfer rtf clipboard items to the vmware host. And I cant install software on the vmware host.
Maybe a paste-site with syntax highlighting?
If you're on Windows, Visual Studio does this automatically. At least it does for me, using Visual Studio 2005 on XP and copy/pasting to both MS Word and Lotus Notes
HeidiSQL does this for sql queries, and the syntax highlighting choices they made are quite readable. However, this will only work for sql queries, not other code. I like Notepad++ for Windows-based systems, and here are some instructions for Notepad++. Several people mentioned VIM for unix/shell environment.
For gVim (Windows), I defined this function and a convenience mapping:
function! HlCopy() range
exec a:firstline.','.a:lastline.'TOhtml'
normal yG
q!
!start /min powershell "Get-Clipboard | Set-Clipboard -AsHtml"
redraw
endfun
vmap Y :call HlCopy()<CR>
How to use?
Enter visual mode with v or by selecting text with left mouse. Then copy the current selection as raw text with y or highlighted text with Y.
Pass range directly (without visual mode): :1,3call HlCopy().
If you are lazy like me, you can set additional options for TOhtml in that function. I have this in my vimrc:
function! HlCopy() range
let g:html_font = "Consolas"
let g:html_number_lines = 0
exec a:firstline.','.a:lastline.'TOhtml'
normal yG
q!
!start /min powershell "Get-Clipboard | Set-Clipboard -AsHtml"
redraw
endfun
vmap Y :call HlCopy()<CR>

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to run and debug a c++ file in vscode. There are always at least one or two things wrong.
I've already used the basic tutorials, but they don't seem to work for me.
Can someone explain it to me like I am 5 years old? Or point me in the direction of a place that will? I am totally burnt out and feel like a total dunce. I can't get a hello world program running and it is driving me crazy. Any help would be appreciated.
Is it on Windows or Linux ?
If on windows, first download and install the mingw setup. You can find it here :
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/
After installation, add the location of th bin of g++ to PATH so that you can access it via the command line.
You can also add some extensions to your VS Code to make debugging C++ code easier, then in VS Code, open the terminal, and , while in the directory where you have your cpp file, simply do a g++ filename.cpp to compile, then run the executable, a.exe, unless otherwise specified in the previous command .
Hope this helps
Make sure that you have c++ compiler I prefer mingw.
Open vscode and go to Extensions or by keyboard shortcut ctrl + shift + x.
Search for .run and install
Search for C/C++ and install.
Go to settings ctrl + ,
By GUI
In the search bar, search for code runner and Code-runner: Run In Terminal will be unticked by default. You tick it and close settings tab. Refer the pic for better understanding.
Finally create a C++ file and save. Go to Terminal and select Run Build Task then click ctrl + alt + n to run the code. Again refer image for better understanding.
This should work, but if still didn't work let me know. Else refer any youtube video , you might have committed small mistake.
Let me know if this didn't work my dear 5 years old guy ;)
I have a program that uses a file called user.cfg to get its user defined configuration settings. The odd thing is that they chose the syntax for this file to be Tcl (it's not odd that it is Tcl, it's odd they chose the .cfg extension instead of .tcl). So, when I open this file in Sublime Text, it doesn't know what syntax highlighting scheme to choose.
What I would like to do is set the syntax highlighting for user.cfg to Tcl, but not all .cfg files to Tcl.
I have seen this question which is very similar to mine, except in that case the special file name had no extension so Sublime Text knew to assign Ruby highlighting to only that one file. Unfortunately, I have an extension so the solution given there will not work for me.
Is there any known way to get Sublime Text base a highlighting scheme on the full filename?
Take a look at the ApplySyntax plugin.
The previous answer is completely true; however, I thought it would be better to have it here all in one place rather than going on another webpage to find the list of procedure to apply it
Sublime text 3
This is found here
Ensure Package Control is installed. Instructions are found here.
In Sublime Text, press Ctrl＋Shift＋P (Win, Linux) or Cmd＋Shift＋P (macOS) to bring up the quick panel and start typing Package Control: Install Package.
Select the command and it will show a list of installable plugins.
Start typing ApplySyntax; when you see it, select it.
Restart to be sure everything is loaded proper.
Enjoy!
Notepad++ is my go to editor for most things. I would like to develop a new command(keyboard shortcut) for doing something unique. Anybody has any pointers regarding how I can do this?
I would like to create a command which arranges selected text in certain order based on the characters found. I would also like create a keyboard shortcut for running the same command.
You have several options:
develop a macro - examine Macros dropdown menu in Notepad++
use AutoHotKey which can send keystrokes/mouseclicks, run apps/DLL's, work with clipboard, read any system settings, take values from input boxes and many more. Please see here for its sample usage with Notepad++
use JN plugin for Notepad++ and script your functionality in JavaScript - example. Similarly, there is a Python scripting plugin, too.
write your own N++ plugin. You get the best control, but without experience this is the most difficult option.
There is an excellent package to preview markdown written using sublime text. I wanted to know how I might modify it, or perhaps use it as the basis for writing one that could process multi-markdown.
I'm using Linux (Ubuntu) and I'm currently calling multimarkdown in the terminal on each file.
One of the issues I think I might face is that multimarkdown refuses to parse an open file for some reason.
Any thoughts on how I might begin this or if an alternative solution exists would be very gratefully received.
There is a MultiMarkdown option in the syntax list - View > Syntax > Markdown > MultiMarkdown. Isn't that working? By the way the syntax (and almost any other) files are in packages folder of Sublime Text 2. This is the syntax file:
/Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages/Markdown/Markdown.tmLanguage
And MultiMarkdown file is in the same directory.
I'm intrigued by your statement that "multimarkdown refuses to parse an open file". Can you provide more information, or email me, or open an issue on github? MultiMarkdown doesn't check to see whether a file is open or not --- it simply reads the file and processes it. So if there's a problem, then the OS is not allowing MMD to proceed for some reason...
I don't have Sublime Text installed on Ubuntu (I generally use a command line only version of Ubuntu for testing MMD), so I can't test this situation exactly. I haven't had any other reports of difficulties parsing files (open or not). I don't have any trouble with Sublime Text 2 on Mac OS X and MMD.
As an alternative, you could try using one of the support scripts (e.g. mmd if you want MMD->HTML) and see if that has the same problem with open files.
PS> Are you using the latest build of MultiMarkdown, e.g. 4.2+?? (Though it shouldn't change anything related to open files)
I have a problem with loading images and editing scripts in Octave. I think Octave has the wrong path or something. When I say 'edit', it says:
sh: 1: emacs: not found
What does that mean?
I'm pretty new to both Octave and MATLAB, but when I'm at school using MATLAB, for example, writing the command 'edit' works...
How do I know where to put files I want to load in Octave, and how do I change the path?
The problem is not with your path, the problem is that you didn't set up EDITOR (see help EDITOR and the editor option at help edit). As you have no environmental variable for it, it defaults to emacs so when you run edit, it tries to open the file in emacs and fails because you don't have it installed. Set up EDITOR for your text editor of choice at .octaverc file (If I remember correctly, the text editor to use is set as a persistent variable inside edit.m so you'll have to restart octave) or an environmental variable (I'd recommend this one).
It works in matlab because they made their own text editor. Octave is not a text editor, it's a programming language, it would be a waste of time to reinvent the wheel, and you should be able to choose whatever you are comfortable to code with.
