SystemVerilog Syntax Highlighting in MS Word (and Powerpoint)!

So you have a presentation to give and you need to show your SV source code? Want to pep it up a bit by highlighting keywords? Me too!

I used to do this manually – comments in green, keywords in blue… all with the Powerpoint color pallet thing, but NOT anymore!

How?

Well, go read this blog post. You’ll discover that the WinXP version of the SciTE text editor has a “Copy as RTF” feature. This means that you can copy your highlighted source to your word or powerpoint (or similar) document and keep the color highlighting.

But SciTE doesn’t have a syntax highlighting capability for SystemVerilog built in… bummer.

But wait! Here’s one! Yes – I threw together a syntax file for SV and posted it.

The detailed steps on how to copy your highlighted source are spelled out in this blog entry – so go check it out.

And then come back here to grab the syntax property files for SciTE and get them installed.

Yea! Presentations!

    @Peter

    That’s a nice site. And it is much more convienient than using SciTE.

    BUT…
    I’d be nervous about posting any proprietary code on a website (especially a site with no apparent privacy policy…)
    Also it looks like sjntax doesn’t have SystemVerilog support.
