Syntax Highlighting GAP

There are extensions for many text editors or other programs to provide syntax highlighting for GAP. These syntax highlighters are not in general provided by GAP itself, but in separate packages. The following list provides links to packages we have been made aware of. They are provided as-is and we unfortunately cannot provide support for either of the packages. If you encounter problems, please contact the respective author.

Text Editors

• Atom: The language-gap package, source available from https://github.com/ChrisJefferson/language-gap (automatically converted from https://github.com/dhowden/gap-tmbundle )
• BBEdit: Download the language module and place it into ~/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Language Modules/
• GNU Emacs: A full gap-mode is available at https://melpa.org/#/gap-mode.
• Textmate: Download from https://github.com/dhowden/gap-tmbundle . We have seen (but not verified) claims that this code will also work for Sublime Text
• vim: see "Editor Support" in the GAP Reference Manual

Web Highlighters

• pygments : Distributed by default with pygments
• rouge : Not yet implemented. Help wanted!
• codemirror: This is used in Jupyter. @markuspf made a very basic highlighter. The pull request has been ignored, and help to improve it is direly needed.
