Syntax highlighting and diagrams-latex

[Sam Tay]

Hi,

Just wanted to stick this out into the ether to save time for those in the future. If you use vim / nvim and love writing diagrams code within latex but hate the screwed up syntax highlighting that results, here is a fix for you!

You can probably see the solution by just looking at this small commit: https://github.com/samtay/dotfiles/commit/5c0fe2899c46a04056eba0bb0d99aa9221427614

Github user @inkarkat has a plugin for specifying different filetype syntax highlighting within regions of other filetypes. Once you install his plugin(s), you can create the after/tex/syntaxfile.vim as seen in the commit above to automatically have latex files highlight "\begin{diagram} .. \end{diagram}" code blocks as Haskell code.

Cheers,

Sam

Thanks so much for posting this!  You inspired me to figure out how to do the same thing with emacs.  The below elisp code defines a mode for Haskell chunks embedded in LaTeX files, delimited by \begin{code} ... \end{code} or \begin{diagram} ... \end{diagram}.

(require 'polymode)   % install from MELPA

(define-innermode poly-haskell-latex-innermode
  :mode 'haskell-mode
  :head-matcher "\\\\begin{\\(diagram\\|code\\)}"
  :tail-matcher "\\\\end{\\(diagram\\|code\\)}"
  :head-mode 'host
  :tail-mode 'host)

(define-polymode poly-latex-haskell-mode
  :hostmode 'pm-host/latex
  :innermodes '(poly-haskell-latex-innermode))

(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.tex\\'" . poly-latex-haskell-mode))
