Emacs plugins!
<div class="IPBDescription">Specifically, cosmetic changes</div>I'm not sure how many of you are familiar with emacs, and most who are might not bother much with plugins... but I was sitting here in school, working on a project, when I remembered the neater way our C++ programs did things. In this case, I was mostly thinking of how certain items in the code were colored differently, like int bool etc were all colored blue, and comments were green, and so forth.
So, the idea struck me that there might be an emacs plugin that fiddles with text colors inside the program, making it a bit easier on the eyes. Does anyone know of such a thing?

Most of it is distributed with emacs out of the box and just needs to be enabled. Usually if you just open a .c, .h, .C or .cpp file it will turn on C-mode which will provide the bulk of what you want. Which version of emacs are you using? I recommend XEmacs. Don't be fooled by the name, you don't need X, you don't even need a GUI.
I have no idea what version it is, since it came with these ancient computers with bothersome keyboards(though the copy/paste buttons are handy).
SUN workstations is right.
I'm sure it supports colors one way or another, since the text in the help sections is colored green and blue...
ML is what I'd like highlighting for.
Standard ML major mode. If you need help loading it, just ask.
EDIT: Oh hey, all I had to do was M-X font-lock-mode .
