      I know that emacs can be used as an editor for Python and C++, with features like syntax highlighting and the like. But does Emacs do that for Ruby? When I opened a Ruby file (*.rb), it didn't show the syntax highlighting like it does for Python. Do I need to download some extra package to use Emacs as a Ruby editor? If so, where do I get it?

There is a ruby-mode.el, but it is not part of Emacs.

You can find ruby-mode in the misc/ directory of the Ruby source code
(www.ruby-lang.org).

Ruby is also supported in CEDET (cedet.sf.net) for use in ECB
(ecb.sf.net) though I do not know how much of the smart completion, or
other features from CEDET work.

Theres a good ruby/rails-oriented emacs demo at http://platypope.org/yada/emacs-demo/
