I just discovered the Falcon programming language today and would like to experiment with it a bit. As it is quite new, there is no ide. That's not a problem as I can use Vim. It would be helpful if there were a Vim syntax file for Falcon, but I can't seem to find one. Can someone point me to a Vim syntax file for Falcon? If not, I could...
What is the best text editor with the ability to create custom syntax? I used notepad++, but the custom syntax was a bit limited and the plugins (namely textFX) had a few bugs to satisfy me. I heard about Vim and Emacs (which one is better?), but I want a FAST editor with many features. ...

Ideally, I'd just edit some regexes to make it work. I need dynamic highlighting b...
While editing this and that in Vim, I often find that its syntax highlighting (for some filetypes) has some defects. I can't remember any examples at the moment, but someone surely will.

I am using StatWeave to run SAS code from within LaTeX files. I would like to be able to open a file in a text editor and view the main LaTeX document with LaTeX syntax highlighting and the embedded SAS "code chunks" with SAS syntax highlighting. (The "code chunks" are real (working) code, not just for display, so I don't think the LaTeX...
I'm working with some Objective-C++ code (.mm files), and I'm curious if it's possible to get emacs to use proper syntax highlighting for both the Objective-C parts and the C++ parts. objc-mode and c++-mode are both major modes (built on top of cc-mode), so they can't be used at the same time. Are there any minor modes or elisp hacks a...
Hi folks, I'm a long time vim user, but only recently learned that vim7 has some awesome spelling features baked in now.

I did review :help spell and the spelling loo...

So for example, the background is solid black for regular XHTML markup, then displays slighly lighter inside the php tags to help me identify it quickly.
