Has anyone made generators that can analyze one's grammar or AST and generate syntax highlighting files for vi and emacs?

The IDE support in Xtext appears to be top notch! However, I'm working with a population of UNIX snob users who are fighting IDEs - "anything with a GUI is evil" mentality. So IntelliJ and web support, while amazing, can't help me.

Are there any easy ways to provide them syntax highlighters for my newly developed DSL for vi and emacs?

Hi Brandon,

there is a github project that implements some support for VIM, e.g.
syntax coloring, formatting, validation and content assist.
We are working with the author it make it easier to consume, e.g. have
some binary distribution of the VIM integration.

It is based on a locally running web server that is used by vim to get
access to the Xtext services.

See here: https://github.com/scottopell/vim-xtext

Best,
Sebastian
