Not to provoke Nick into a VI vs Emacs flamewar (and I see that I am
trying his patience), but Emacs has a partial solution to this. The
"htmlize" function will create a html version of the syntax-highlighted
text, which can be imported by your word processor.
However, the syntax highlighting (based on Bill Rising's ado-mode) is
not 100% correct as it is heuristic rather than syntactical, so to
speak. It's good enough to be useful, but it is not perfect.
If Sergiy really wants official Stata syntax highlighting, would a
screenshot be an acceptable compromise?
