babel "language" for conf-mode?

babel "language" for conf-mode?

[Eric Abrahamsen]

I'm doing a blog post on various computer configuration stuff, including
lengthy excerpts from configuration files. It would be kind of nice to
export the HTML so that the :htmlize-source option also recognized these
chunks, and highlighted them correctly. So instead of wrapping the
excerpts in

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE

I could wrap them in

#+BEGIN_SOURCE conf-unix

And get highlighting a la conf-unix-mode.

It's not quite a babel "language", since evaluation wouldn't do
anything, but is there a way to just get the highlighting?

Thanks!
Eric

Aloha Eric,

My guess is that you'll need to define conf-unix as a language.  It
might be easy since evaluation isn't needed.

See,

All the best,
Tom

Thanks! I looked through that, and it didn't quite seem to do what I
wanted, but it was enough to lead me to `org-src-lang-modes', which I
think is the right tree to bark up. I just added '("conf-unix" .
conf-unix) to that option, and gave C-' a whirl on a source block, and
it nearly worked! I think with a little futzing around it will turn out
to be fairly simply.

Thanks,
Eric
