I recently had a customer ask me how to make his mex files have correct syntax highlighting. He had a file type that was not specified in our default preferences. This is very easy to fix using preferences. Here is an example. I have to edit info.xml files a lot because one of the things that I work on is the start button. But when I edit an xml file there is no syntax highlighting. If the editor hightlights the file as html, it does a pretty good job of syntax highlighting.
Hello, I have a text file that is in the following form: 1 1 4 0 6 1 2 9 5 6. I want to add braces and semicolons on all lines of the file to have the following form. Depending on your MATLAB version, open the 'Preferences' window. At least in newer versions, this is usually found at the top of the main window, in the bar labelled 'Environment'. In the window that opens up, navigate to the tab called 'Fonts'.
To make xml files syntax highlight as an html file, go to the Editor Language preference panel (File->Preferences->Editor->Language). Select “HTML” from the Language combobox. This will open the html highlighting panel. Near the bottom of this panel is a File Extensions list that shows which files will be highlighted using this set of colors. Click on the “Add” button and type “xml” into the dialog. Hit OK to exit the dialog and OK to exit the preference panel. Close the file and re-open it to see the changes.
From this point forward, all xml files will be colored as html files. You can associate any file type with M, C/C++, Java, or HTML highlighting sets. And because I predict that you will ask, we are considering linking xml files to the html color set by default in a future release. Igal replied on: 13 of 16 Hi All, Does any one know how I can add an additional language and a custom syntax coloring for that language?
Something similar to what is usually done in Crimson Editor? I really miss Verilog and VHDL syntax highlighting, especially since both can be generated in SImulink HDL Coder, but require 3rd party editor to be conviniently readable. I don't mind making such syntax highliting script myslef, and posting it at Matlab Central, provided I knew its fromat how to add it to the Matlab Editor.
Although understandable, I fear your impulse is misguided, at least at-this-moment-in-history. TeX stuff currently dominates. My advice would be to learn how to cope. In the 'science-fiction future' (which I suspect will never quite arrive) no one will have to cope with mark-up language issues.
But.:) Srsly, all these mark-up language issues are not hard. LaTeX was particularly designed to 'protect' users from the underlying issues. True, by now it's a bit archaic, but, still, it's not so hard.
And currently is industry-standard. – Jul 9 '13 at 0:56 •. Dfeuer, suggested using LyX which is a $ TeX$ editor that you can download at.
I downloaded and started using LyX a couple hours ago and it is working great! I should clarify, that in my original question I was basically using Mathematica as an ad hoc $ TeX$ editor.
I would write up all of my notes in a Mathematica notebook file (*.nb), and then I would save them as PDFs (bypassing the need for $ LaTeX$), ultimately I would end up with a nice looking PDF document of my notes. Othertimes, when Mathematica was missing a $ LaTeX$ symbol of font, I would save my notebook files as.tex files, and then I would do further editing on them in TexStudio (another $ TeX$ Editor requiring $ LaTeX$ ). LyX, is a $ TeX$ editor (or document processor) that allows you to type a $ LaTeX$ commands such as beta, while it instantaneously replaces the command with the Greek letter $ beta$. LyX files are not actually $ TeX$ files they are saved as (*.lyx) files. When you are finished writing the document you can print it in to a prescripted pdf file (*.ps), and when you open it with Acrobat Distiller it produces, a nice PDF. LyX has a lot of cool features you can watch a demo of it.If you are already familiar with $ LaTeX$ then it is pretty much self explanatory, and the documentation is well written.
Nonetheless you might want to check out this quick tutorial. Also, you can save graphics in MATLAB as bitmap files (*.bmp), and incorporate them into your LyX files, you end up with nice crisp graphics this way.

How To Use Text Editor For Python
Ken’s been kind enough to in the comments on how to switch between open files in the MATLAB Editor. The keyboard shortcut • Ctrl+Page Up to move from right to left on the tabs • Ctrl+Page Down to move from left to right Note that these only work when the documents are docked together in the Editor (although the Editor group itself can be undocked from the Desktop). If you were previously unaware of these keyboard shortcuts, you might also be unaware of these other features of the Editor tabs: • An Editor with unsaved changes will have an “ *” after the file name.
