The best way to learn new languages/technologies is to read some good sample source code.
Incidentally there is an abundance of source code, but only so little time. I thought it would be nice to read some on my iPad while I’m on the train. Of course it would be even better if I could have it syntax colored.
Fortunately as I mentioned in my previous post, there is an easy command in Vim to convert any text to html, including the colors.
:TOhtml
does the trick.
So here is what you need to do:
- Get yourself an iPad reader that supports html – I use GoodReader
- Convert the source code you would like to read into html using your Vim editor and save it to a file
- Upload the saved html file to your iPad reader (ideally using something quick and convenient like GoodReader’s WiFi transfer)
