VIM-WOLF

The syntax file for Mathematica language for Vim.

Note

This syntax is made (and is under slow construction) in order to meet some author requirements for the development of other things, so it will be slowly evolving towards some unspecified unpredictable wishes of the author, which may and will be varying over time.

Features

• Mathematica version specific keywords:

  This allows to separate "older" and "newer" System symbols with respect to some version of Mathematica.

• Different brackets are highlighted differently:

  This allows to avoid fances of brackets in the end of functions.

• Contexts are highlighted separately:

  In large packages this is a necessity. But names of contexts themselves might be necessary only syntaxically. In order to simplify the visual look one can make context names almost invisible.

Installation

In order to install, run:

./install

One may wish to specify use different options for intallation (several options can be used simultaneously):

• [-v number] "version number"

  The version of Mathematica can be specified, which will separate older and newer System symbols. Default version is 7.0. The installation is done in the following way:

  ./install -v <number>
  

• [-h] "hide highlighting"

  Some colors are defined in this syntax. They are author specific and may be undesired. To use your highlighting:

  ./install -h
  

Testing

In order to test, run:

./check

It will create .html files and check them against the .test ones. The last ones are created in exactly the same way, how in check script.

• [-f] "full test"

  This flag forces to use install script first. Testing is done in the following way:

  ./check -f
  

• [-a <path/to/file.m>] "add test"

  This flag copies file.m to test/ directory and generates a new .m.test file:

  ./check -a <path/to/file.m>
