sh mode for region only ?

sh mode for region only ?

[Alexandre Oberlin]

Hi all,

Is there a possibility to benefit of sh (or whatever) syntax 
highlighting on a region only?

This could be useful when editing a list of instructions containing codes.

C-x n n

Or a more complex C-x 4 c.

How does that address the question? Is there some way to then have it
auto mode to the correct syntax hiliting in the narrowed region?

Of course you can do something to narrow functions, but running
them manually is not very hard.

At my last job I had to work with HTML that was heavily laden with JavaScript, so something similar was very useful for me.
I wrote a post-command-hook to see if the point had moved into a region of JavaScript and, if it had, then change to JavaScript mode.

If your regions of shell code have reasonably consistent delimiters, then doing the same thing should not be too difficult.

nxhtml might be good for you too.

Well, dang!

Gotta love emacs. If you need something, someone else has almost certainly thought of it and probably already built it.

The concept should be generalized...

There's something called mmm-mode, for multiple major modes.  I use it 
with PHP embedded in HTML.

With 3 advises I must try it.
Sounds great.

Thanks a lot,

Re: sh mode for region only ?

[Alexandre Oberlin]

Thanks for your suggestion.

I tried to check if one of those solutions would work at least while 
editing but none does. Actually in the narrowed region or cloned buffer 
the syntax highlighting seems to take into account the unseen text to 
set the highlighting. I need to copy the sh region to a new file to get 
the correct syntax highlighting.

Apart from multiple modes, you can try working with Org mode,
which gives a nice way of embedding source code in documents.

Yes orgmode, specifically babel, is probably the most stable and
sophisticated solution
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/intro.html

More lightweight is eepitch http://angg.twu.net/eev-current/eepitch.el.html
If you dont mind hackish and not heavily documented

Sorry jumped in without thinking.
OP asked about syntax highlighting.

eepitch does not do this at all (as far as I know).
And orgmode uses indirect buffers for that. One may or may not like
this as much as a (working) multiple mode.

Re: sh mode for region only ?

[Alexandre Oberlin]

org mode indeed seems to offer a realm of possibilities I still have to 
explore:

[Alexandre Oberlin]

Thanks Doug for your answer.

Actually changing the mode of the buffer (be it narrowed, cloned or not) 
does not consistently help, because even if it is not seen, the non code 
text impacts on the code highlighting.

Even with standalone code blocks or delimiters, I can't see how to get 
this to work without commenting out the non code sections.

[Alexandre Oberlin]

I noticed another problem when switching even temporarily to sh mode: 
the Enriched mode formatting goes away and does not come back.

There are mmm-mode and mumamo-mode (plus perhaps a few others)
