Does any text editor (such as Notepad++) syntax highlight MediaWiki code? This might not be strictly programming related though the Wiki script is a language by itself.

I hate to say it, being an avid Vim user, but Emacs supports wiki markup.

Edit Hold on a second, there is syntax highlighting for Vim too

YAY!

+1 for placating the emacs and vim crowds. I'm in the latter :)

I had to Google "Vim+mediawiki+highlighting" to ensure I don't find a reason to switch to Emacs :P

I think you want Wikipedia:Text editor support - How to set up specific editors for Wikipedia editing.

At least 8 text editors support MediaWiki syntax highlighting:

  • GNU Emacs
  • Eclipse
  • Vedit
  • Vim
  • jEdit
  • Kate / KWrite
  • NoteTab. (I assume that "Wikipedia" syntax just means MediaWiki syntax.)

Mac OSX

  • SubEthaEdit
  • TextMate

There is also a MediaWiki JavaScript add-on called wikEd that does syntax highlighting inside the MediaWiki edit box.

Best answer among the lot, gave me all the app choices instead of offering personal opinion. Thanks!
