#24201 — color coding of text

In Word you can select a color for highlighted text. I'd like to be able to
do this in eclipse or some other java editor. It would allow you to show a
programs structure nicely. Is there such a thing?

The Java compiler will not read files with any sort of artificial colouring
codes in them, so even if you find an editor that would allow this, you
would then be unable to use it to write Java files that compiled.

That being said, most editors have configurable syntax highlighting, and of
course you can always simply copy and paste the Java code into Word and
colour it there (but then it won't compile anymore obviously).

emacs is almost infinitely configurable and is available for Windows
but it can be a bit of a headbanger to get started with

http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/


gedit allows you to create .lang files in [Ubuntu Linux]
/usr/share/gtksourceview-3.0/language-specs/
and is simpler to use and configure but not as flexible
also available for Windows

https://live.gnome.org/Gedit/Windows

I've never used the Windows versions myself.

JEdit is a nice editor and then it is written in Java.

I have done it two ways:

1. generate simple HTML and have Swing render it. See
http://mindprod.com/jgloss/htmlrendering.html  I have had very little
success rendering "wild" HTML plucked from the web. You can do inline
styles, but the markup must be validated and vanilla.

2. I generate binary tokens, one for each string.  It includes the
text.  The type of the token encodes the font size, colours,
highlighting etc.  Then I use drawString to render this at the lowest
level.  See http://mindprod.com/products1.html#JDISPLAY

RTFM:

For more general information:

Not the highlight color, the *text* color!

You wrote:

I'd like to be able to do this in eclipse [sic] or some other java [sic] editor." 

You asked for the color for highlighted text. Don't be mad at me for answering 
the question you actually asked instead of the one you intended to ask.

You will note that the query term I suggested was *your* phrase, with the word 
"Java" added. If you don't like *your own* search phrase, then for God's sake 
use a different one.

Besides, it's the same answer: RTFM!

> I bet you don't speak to people like that in person.

Did you RTFM first?

Did you try an online search first?

This is a newsgroup for Java programmers. Part of the essential skill of 
being a programmer is knowing how to look things up. Something you did not do.

The advice is sound. Follow it. Get over yourself.

The threads title "color coding of text" might've been a clue…

Just sayin.

BTW, telling someone to "RTFM" is abusive. 

Period.

That is why you don't say it to someone's face. 

Get over it.

Telling someone to RFTM is in absolutely no way abusive, not even a little
bit, not even jokingly. If being told to read the documentation for
something you want to use offends you, I recommend you give up on
programming and take on something less mentally challenging where you won't
be offended by reading documentation.

Considering that it means Read The Fucking Manual, it is actually a 
somewhat hostile way of telling someone to read the docs. Abusive? 
Depends on how you the recipient feels when they've been cursed out in a 
professional forum. Maybe.

A neutral way of telling someone to read the docs is "read the docs".

Even better, do like FredK did, and provide a useful hint.

Well - the F can stand for "Fine" as well. Or a few less used
words starting with F.

And even if Lew actually meant "Fucking", then I find it
difficult to see as being abusive given the context of
internet year 2013. I am not even sure that I would call
it rude. I would call it harsh.

It is a clue.

But you can hardly criticize somebody for assuming that you meant what
you wrote in the message body.

> BTW, telling someone to "RTFM" is abusive.

RTFM without any reference to what FM is not abusive. It is
not very helpful either.

RTFM with a reference to a FM is not abusive and it is helpful.

Lew did provide a link to the FM for highlighting in his first reply.

He did not in his second reply for text, but a minimum of search
would in the first link would fine the requested information.

> Period.

Making claims and then say "period" does convince many
about the validity of the claim. Most likely the opposite.

Don't worry about him. He is just a pedant who appears to have become 
stuck in a Java warp and hasn't progressed to more advanced and 
productive programming languages. He can't be much good as a programmer 
either, because he spends way too much time on usenet being a prick.

Why can't you just give advice?
Why do you always feel it necessary to behave like
a total arsehole?

Why do you even bother, if you don't think the question a valid one then 
why bother to respond?

Your bizarre behavior lowers the tone of the group
get over yourself, you really are not that important.

In his defense, his original advice was in a neutral tone, he only turned
rude when he was yelled at instead of thanked by the ungrateful original
poster for posting his link.

There are many reasons people post to Usenet Joerg, maybe they would 
like to start a conversation with like minded people but don't know how 
to start, maybe they are trying to make some friends, maybe they are not 
experienced with search engines and don't know how to sift the wheat 
from the chaff. Maybe they are just starting out on Usenet and don't 
understand the protocols yet.

A first response of RTFM is not really helpful is it.

If I just wanted to Read The Fucking Manual I wouldn't be here.

Bloch-local invariably gives RTFM as a first response, look back and see 
how many new posters he pisses off with this smart arse attitude.

... and as for all this [sic] nonsense, it's just designed as a wind up, 
no need to do it if you are just quoting the original text, he's a wind 
up merchant, nothing more.

As the OP opined, I'd bet he wouldn't be such a smart arse face to face.
