Turn on syntax highlighting for editing .thtml files in Vim (Articles)

Turn on syntax highlighting for editing .thtml files in Vim

By Don Voita (dvoita)

If you use Vim to edit your Views, here's how to turn on syntax highlighting.

If you use VIm as your text editor like I do, you probably find the syntax highlighting helpful. Unfortunately, files ending in *.thtml aren't recognized by Vim. Here's how to fix that:

(Examples are for Unix)

1. Create a user runtime directory:
Download code




mkdir ~/.vim

2. Create the following file:
Download code




vi ~/.vim/filetype.vim

It should contain:
Download code




" my filetype file

    if exists("did_load_filetypes")

      finish

    endif

    augroup filetypedetect

      au! BufRead,BufNewFile *.thtml     setfiletype html

    augroup END

3. Restart Vim, if need be.

This should make editing your Views with Vim a little easier.

1 Easier than that

Just put this line in your ~/.vimrc file:

au BufNewFile,BufRead *.thtml setfiletype php

(I prefer php synax rather than just html)

2 Syntax Highlighting for Dreamweaver

I found this on the internet:

Open


c:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX\Configuration\DocumentTypes\MMDocumentTypes.xml

Look for


winfileextension="php,php3"

��ܡם��r�^t񍽑��屔􉍽��而��)��ѕ�ͥ��̈��(𽍽�� if you're on a mac and simply add "thtml" (or "ctp" for 1.2) to the list so you have:


winfileextension="php,php3,thtml"


macfileextension="php,php3,thtml"

Save it, and restart Dreamweaver and you should be good to go.

Hope this helps someone.

3 Clarification

Look for winfileextension="php,php3" or macfileextension="php,php3" if you're on a mac and simply add inc to the list so you have:

winfileextension="php,php3,inc"
I'm sure you meant "thtml" (or "ctp" for 1.2) instead of "inc" :D
