I wanted syntax highlight from the command line using VIM and Matthew Turland gave me the following tip.
jared@example.com$ git config color.diff auto
Tag syntax highlighting
(Nerd) Git Diff & Syntax Highlighting Using VIM
Ubuntu + VIM + CakePHP 1.2 + .ctp syntax highlighting
Found this blog post concerning setting up the Cakephp view extension (.ctp) to use the same highlighting as (.php).
I didn’t find his solution that helpful, but one of the comments said to add this to my ‘.vimrc’ file in my home directory.
if has(”autocmd”)
autocmd BufEnter *.ctp set syn=php
endif
And since we are on the topic here is how my .vimrc is setup
set tabstop=2
set shiftwidth=2
set expandtab
if has("autocmd")
autocmd BufEnter *.ctp set syn=php
endif
syn on
-later
