Printing code in colour? Just printed 13 pages for a school project & it came out B/W. Didn't actually check my settings, but can MMEdit print colour? If not is there an easy way to take TBS formatted code to another application & print in colour from there? Thanks Phil. |

I'm not Jim, but FILE/SAVE AS RTF works for me. This outputs a colour RTF file, which I then save as a PDF - job done.  Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops! |

Grogster has it spot on. Printing colour was a pain so I let some other program do it... Jim VK7JH MMedit |

Hi, I wanted to know this to, but I must be missing something. Didn't find an option to save as an RTF file so I replaced the .bas with .rtf but it still only opened as a normal B&W file in a word processor. Chopperp ChopperP |

Click FILE menu at the top left of the window, then moved down to 'Save as RTF', and left-click. Follow your nose from there.  Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops! |

Can't see 'Save as RTF'. Ill up date MMEdit & see if it is there Thanks ChopperP |

OK, that worked. Thanks ChopperP |

I was about to suggest the latest version of MMEDIT, but you thought ahead of me. Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops! |

I did experiment with printing line numbers. I can't remember why I gave up, I think it got too unreliable.  Getting the line-number colours correct is not difficult but the line-wrapping really stuffs up the display. I don't want to do my own line-wrapping, it would only add more problems.

Had a little play, notice also that RTF retains the original case of the code as typed. [Quote] String Vs String Other thought that came to mind was what can be done from NotePad++. I did play around with a User Defined Language as metioned here. Didn't ever try printing. The language mostly works Like MMedit in it's colour coding but I never got it 100% right. One big bonus though is that I did get it to the stage where it would let you list Subs & Functions in a box; really use for jumping around code. Npp should have a line numbering plug-in, think I played with that & noticed there's an RTF add-on language as well. Phil. |

Phil, If you want to print with the keywords in your chosen case, you need to select "Save Keyword CASE" in the Program menu first. That will permanently alter your file with the format that you chose in Preferences. It doesn't affect any new typing so you have to run it as required. The process is too slow to automatically run too often. Jim VK7JH MMedit |

For Jim again For the CMM V4.5. Noticed that the Alpha-Numeric pin numbers (A0 etc) don't come up in red as do the normal pin numbers. No real issue. setpin 9, ain 'analog I/P for solar panel setpin A0, ain 'Analog I/P for switches setpin 10, inth, Rain_Gauge 'Rain Gauge Interrupt setpin 20, INTL, Sw_Press 'Switch press detect setpin D9, DIN 'Grey Water ON switch lcd init D2,D3,D4,D5,D6,D7 Chopperp ChopperP |

Just realised that Jim has all numbers come up in Red not only pin numbers so not really applicable to alpha-numeric pin numbers, though that would be good ChopperP ChopperP |

You also need to make sure the end quote or is after the quote or code you want to mark otherwise it wont do what you wanted. |

If it starts with a digit, &H (hex), &B (binary) or &O (octal), it's a number anything else is a 'word' It does cause a few issues with CFUNCTIONs I will add the option to print line numbers to RTF, but you will have to live with any consequences. My main objection is, you loose the ability to copy and paste back into MMEdit because of the pesky line numbers. Jim VK7JH MMedit |
