If I'm writing a website which has ALL these languages on it, is there any editor for Linux which will correctly detect ALL of them, and provide the colours, with DIFFERENT COLOUR SCHENES FOR EACH LANGUAGE - ie. Javascript has to look different from PHP!
Will Emacs do it, with the appropriate plugins or something....? Surely *someone*, *SOMEWHERE* must have solved this problem by now, with the amount of websites being developed all oveer the world....?


Thanks.

Emacs does it with web mode, but the colours are deliberately chosen to
be similar. For example, by default, PHP and JS keywords are both blue.
I don't know if, with the one mode, you can customise the different
languages. I've never looked.

I prefer to edit JS in stand-alone files because the emacs mode provides
very good real-time feedback, but sometimes you do have all of the
syntaxs together.

HTML-Kit Tools has readily editable syntax highlighting so you can tweak
the color schemes to suit yourself.

That was my first thought, but it is written for Windows. I
don't know how well it would run in a Windows emulator.

I expect Emacs can do this, but I fought Emacs and Emacs won. (!)
'gedit' and 'pluma' are colouring editors, but I don't know how easy
it is to create one's own colour schemes.

To me, Eclipse would be the obvious choice, but of course Eclipse
is much more than just a text editor.

Have you tried Bluefish? I've been using it for years and rather like it.
Look at the screenshots for an immediate tryout. Good at managing projects
as well.
