Which text editor supports syntax highlighting for Wiki code?

Does any text editor (such as Notepad++) syntax highlight MediaWiki code? This might not be strictly programming related though the Wiki script is a language by itself.

Solution

  • I think you want Wikipedia:Text editor support - How to set up specific editors for Wikipedia editing.

    At least 8 text editors support MediaWiki syntax highlighting:

    • GNU Emacs
    • Eclipse
    • Vedit
    • Vim
    • jEdit
    • Kate / KWrite
    • NoteTab. (I assume that "Wikipedia" syntax just means MediaWiki syntax.)

    Mac OSX

    • SubEthaEdit
    • TextMate

    There is also a MediaWiki JavaScript add-on called wikEd that does syntax highlighting inside the MediaWiki edit box.
