Is there any way to have syntax highlighting in the "editor" of dokuwiki?
By this I mean to have syntax highlighting in the actual editing window (in real time) just like using a text editor.
I have never seen anything like this but I was wondering if this is possible. Since I'm inputting a lot of LaTeX math thing into my dokuwiki, it would be great if it can be done.
Have a look at http://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:aceeditor - I never tried it myself, but it seems to do what you're looking for.

Does anybody know of a non-manual method of highlighting syntax when pasted in InDesign?
I'm trying to show code of a project in an InDesign documentation but don't want to have to manually highlight the code, and preferably add numbered rows too.
Is there a plugin to achieve this?
This is the style in which I'd like to format the code.
Cheers
Not sure if you worked out an answer to this, but there's no magic button that will solve your problem.
However, InDesign does have a facility in each Paragraph style called GREP that can do what you're looking for.
This lets you write 'regex' or 'regular expressions' that are just rules for what to apply a given character style to. Yes, they look about as meaningful as Harry Potter incantations at first glance, but 2 or 3 simple regexes will get you a long way.
For instance:
(\<|<)!--\s*.*?\s*--(\>|>)
Will target HTML comments only.
(?<=").*?(?=")
This will target anything wrapped in straight double quotes.
(?<=\().*?(?=\))
This will target any text inside parentheses ().
There's an '#' symbol button in that GREP style next to where you type the regex - that gives you a drop-down menu that is almost like a 'Regex Wizard'. Try that too.
When you've got a regex that works, create a new character style for the text color and select it in the 'Apply Style' input.
Regexr.com has a tool that is good for testing this stuff. Paste your code sample in the bottom panel and your line of regex in the top. The bits that it targets will turn blue.
There is a searchable community panel on the left where people have probably already written expressions like the one you need.
I'm working out a JavaScript highlighter at the moment. It's a shame there's no communal 'Indesign style sharing library'.
Best of luck.
If had luck pasting syntax highlighted code into a Rich Text editor like Libre Office and then pasting it into Indesign. Just make sure whatever font your syntax highlighted code is in is also in InDesign because you'll get font missing errors when you pre-flight the book.
Does any one know if textmate has a visual way to denote a nested block? I just started using coffee script (which uses tabbed nesting) and thought it would be great to have something similar to this:

Would it be possible to write a plugin that does something along these lines in textmate 2?
Thanks!
Edit: After some more searching I found this is sometimes called "indentation guides". I still havne't found any way to do this in textmate 2 but sublime text has the feature on by default.
Is there any way with TextMate to hide comments when editing code? Sometimes I want to see my code with the full comments and other times just want to see the code itself with all comments hidden. I was hoping there would be a way to toggle the display of comments, but haven't been able to find anything about this.
It is something you will need to edit on a language by language basis, but it is very doable. Inside of Bundles -> Bundle Editor -> Edit Languages you will find the language definition that TextMate uses to highlight that particular syntax. Inside of the syntax definition you will find foldingStartMarker and foldingStopMarker.
You can add comment syntax to those to allow the folding off comments themselves. It might be pretty tricky for single line comments, but multiline comments, that have both a clear and unique start and stop syntax, should work fine.
For PHP, for example, we are going to want to add \/\* to the start syntax, and \*\/ to the end syntax. You will need to reload the bundle for these changes to take effect (or restart TM).
Does anyone know if there is a code editing component for Cocoa, akin to Scintilla?
Or at least with following features: syntax coloring, indentation(, brace matching, whitespace showing, line wrapping)?
You might have a look at smultron (now defunct). If I remember correctly, it gives a decent overview on how to implement syntax highlighting in an NSTextView.
It feels like I'm missing something really simple here. I've been using Coda for a while now and I'm now playing around with Textmate. I'm unable to find a way to syntax highlight function calls in Textmate. I've poked around the documentation but can't believe I'd have to dig deep into Textmate and mess around with regex to make this work.

Function calls are inheriting the foreground color. This is javascript but I get the same in PHP.
In Textmate, syntax coloring is entirely controlled by the language definition in the "bundle" of the relevant language. Both the PHP (HTML) and Javascript bundles give function definitions special treatment, but neither highlights function calls.
So yes, if you want to change this, you'll need to use the Bundle Editor and learn to edit the regex-based language definition (marked with an L icon in the bundle).
