Well, here are these for emacs:
Try `M-x font-lock-mode' to turn on syntax highlighting. With newer
emacsen, it is also at 'Help/Options/Global Font Lock' menu item.
To learn more, run `info emacs` and find section named 'Font Lock'.
Emacs has special C/C++ mode that 'knows' these languages enough to
calculate indentations according to some predefined coding style. In
short, 'c-basic-offset' contains common tab size, used for most
things, and 'c-default-style' tells what style (gnu, k&r, bsd, linux,
stroustrup). You can try `C-c .' to change indentation style on a
file. Open info page on 'ccmode' to learn more about these.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Willy.
