Can xemacs do syntax highlighting for ruby

Nigel Wilkinson

Hi folks

I have decided to give emacs a go since it is so well respected but there are one or two features from other editors that I feel I can't do without.

Vim can be made to recognise a ruby file and does the 2 space indenting, syntax highlighting and auto indenting. I can live without the autoindnting but I do like the 2 space indenting and highlighting. Is there a way to do this in emacs? I don't like the mode system in vim and want to get away from it so am willing to make trade offs.

Cheers
Nigel

Whoops, please ignore, I've just found ruby-mode-el
