better/easy way to displaying c source code in html gkumar007 07-18-2006

Greetings,
Are there any HTML editors which support syntax highlighting of c
program source code.

Let's say I write my html code as follows:
show/hide quoted text

show/hide quoted text
#define TOTAL_ELEMENTS (sizeof(array) / sizeof(array[0]))
int array[] = ;
int main()
{
int d;
for(d=-1;d <= (TOTAL_ELEMENTS-2);d++)
printf("%d\n",array[d+1]);
return 0;
}
show/hide quoted text

And the tool generates the real html code as displayed in colours as
shown here:
http://www.gowrikumar.com/c/index.html

Currently I'm using gvim to convert the c programs to HTML and then
including them
in the larger html page. But I soon found that it's becoming very
difficult to manage the website.

Also any other pointers for solutions for this sort web authoring,
where the site would predominantly contains c language source code, is
greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Gowri Kumar

jEdit Just configure it so that it thinks HTML files (or even
".chtml" files) are C source.


OTOH, I wouldn't do this. HTML is HTML, C is C. Edit them as separate
files, then combine them through a pre-processor like SSI. If you edit
"C source" inside a HTML page then you can't test it and you'll see
errors sneaking through.

First, I know you have C program source, but I wanted to mention
that for highlighting PHP source, this is trivial to do inside HTML
files that incorporate PHP. There's a highlight_file() function
already built in. See the documentation for highlight_file() at
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.highlight-file.php

For highlighting code in C++ or many other languages, you need the PEAR
Text_Highlighter package add-on to PHP (it's free).

Gazing into my crystal ball I observed gkumar007@gmail.com writing in

You may want to try HTML-Kit, an excellent HTML editor, with syntax
highlighting for myriad languages. There are hundreds of plugins
available, and this one <http://www.chami.com/html-
