Emacs Coloring for perl/php/html/etc

[gcawood]

If you are an Emacs user, then it is handy to be able to colorize your scripts correctly. Looking at code that isn't colorized can make your eyes bleed. Here is what I put into my .emacs file for my user. (so, if you are root, create/edit this file /root/.emacs)

(if (fboundp 'global-font-lock-mode)
    (global-font-lock-mode 1)        ; GNU Emacs
  (setq font-lock-auto-fontify t))   ; XEmacs

Also, to switch emacs color modes is pretty easy.

[esc]-x html
[esc]-x php
[esc]-x pl

etc...

Nice to see something that can make the code less soul destroying and eye raping, thanks mate, will give it a try.
