Syntax highlighting for Scheme in vim and emacs

Home > Scheme > Syntax highlighting for Scheme in vim and emacs

It's been observed that both vim and emacs do not, by default, recognize files with the .rkt extension as scheme source code. Remedy it with the following steps :

vim

Add the following lines to your .vimrc

" Recognize .rkt files as scheme source
if version >= 600
	au BufNewFile,BufRead *.rkt set filetype=scheme
endif

emacs

Add the following lines to your .emacs file:

;; enter scheme-mode while editing .rkt files
(setq auto-mode-alist
      (cons '("\\.rkt$" . scheme-mode)
            auto-mode-alist))
