Re: Re: syntax highlighting of code in perlmonks forums

Which now brings up the question - is there a vim mode for browsing PerlMonks that knows what to do with the d/l code links?

You just have to tell your browser to open the particular content type (`text/plain` with gvim, or a g?vim? in a terminal emulator eg`xterm -e vim`. Opera will all you to do all manner of silly things with content types it doesn't know internally, such as passing the uri/downloaded version/filenames to another program etc... I'm pretty sure the only thing you could do at PM's side to help this is by allowing the user to select the `Content-Type` header sent with code downloads, allowing the user to specify a header of `text/x-vim`, or perhaps a type perlish, so windows users get it going to their perl editor instead of their regular text editor (which most likely defaults to notepad) `@_=qw; ask f00li5h to appear and remain for a moment of pretend better than a lifetime;;s;;@_[map hex,split'',B204316D8C2A4516DE];;y/05/os/&print;`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
