Using Vim to generate HTML output of code

This is an interesting bit that I learnt about from an email in a mailing list by James Pryor.

To generate html output for code within a shell script you can use:

vim myscript.sh '+syntax on' '+ set nu' '+set background=light' +TOhtml '+w myscript.html' '+qall!'

If you don’t want numbers and need a dark background you can use:

vim myscript.sh '+syntax on' '+ set nonu' '+set background=dark' +TOhtml '+w myscript.html' '+qall!'

Installing Sublime Text 3 on RHEL / Fedora

Here’s another three step guide to installing Sublime Text 3 on RHEL 6,7 / Fedora 18, 19, 20:-

1. Download the installation script from the following gist.

   https://gist.github.com/sayak-sarkar/11b039f398ddcae88139

2. Extract it to your home directory [or anywhere you like].

   $tar -xvf gist11b039f398ddcae88139-e339084ef22e956ea6ef8d04f8279ca70772f534.tar.gz

3. Open your terminal (preferably as super user), navigate to your home directory and execute the shell script.

    #./sublime-text-3.sh

Voila!! You now have Sublime Text 3 installed on your machine. You may run it from the terminal or via the alt+f2 shortcut by simply typing in “sublime”.

Based upon my previous post on How to install Sublime Text 3 on Fedora. 😉

Enjoy!! 🙂
