colour highlighting of syntax

[dwks]

There are three code colourers written by members of this board as far as I'm aware. siavoshkc's "code painter", Code Colorer v2.0 by Martin, and my codeform. (codeform's somewhat old and I'm rewriting it right now.)

Here's a recent thread where we argue about which is the best: http://cboard.cprogramming.com/showthread.php?t=82592

Yes, thanks. I tried them all:

CPP code tagger

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
    int ch;

    while ((ch = getchar()) != EOF)
        if (ch == '\n')
            printf("\n");
        else
            printf("%0x ", ch ^ 0xaa);

    return 0;
}

Color Coder V 2.0

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
    int ch;

    while ((ch = getchar()) != EOF)
        if (ch == '\n')
            printf("\n");
        else
            printf("%0x ", ch ^ 0xaa);

    return 0;
}

codeform

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
    int ch;

    while ((ch = getchar()) != EOF)
        if (ch == '\n')
            printf("\n");
        else
            printf("%0x ", ch ^ 0xaa);

    return 0;
}

And I do believe that codeform does have that little something extra; plus, with a little adjustment, I can use it on my Linux systems. Thanks dwks.

Adjustment:
- I removed the forward slash from the definition of the default dat file as forward slash is the Windows-specific directory path separator

Note:
- Neither Linux nor Windows liked the numbercol definition in codeform_cb_cpp.dat (the equal symbol before darkblue needs a backslash escape character)

[numbercol]
\[color=darkblue]=[/color]

It says

Syntax error in data file "codeform.dat" on line 112:
[numbercol]'s data must have 2 parts (it has 3)
