#Monokai-Sublime-Text-Octopress
Based on bdryanovski's original patch here.
bdryanovski created a patch for the solarized syntax highlighting that octopress uses as a front end to its pygments based syntax highlighter.
The patch worked great, except that it looked much different (for PHP and JavaScript) than I was used to from Sublime Text's interpretation of the Monokai theme.
So - I made a few adjustments.
##Languages and Consistency Most of the code I was writing back when I worked on this was either JavaScript or PHP. So - this patch was optimized for those languages. Still, the theme isn't perfect due to some differences between sublime text and pygments.
For example - in PHP, while Sublime Text differentiates between the keywords "class" and "public" (giving the former a color of light blue and the latter a color of bright red), pygments does not - assigning a single css class of ".k" (for keyword presumably) to both.
Then there were conflicts between languages. Pygments sometimes assigns the same class for different features in different languges. For example - both non-stdlib functions in PHP and Object properties in JavaScript share the same class (.nx). I actually probably should have favored JavaScript in this case - as I certainly use JavaScript object properties more regularly than PHP functions that don't belong to any class or the stdlib, but I optimized for PHP first and am too lazy to go back and regenerate diff files for patches. Feel free to knock yourself out.
Finally - there are some places where Sublime Text seems to fall short. Pygments gets it right (in my opinion) for C highlighting. For some reason, Sublime Text treats the dereference, conditional and arithmetic operators as punctuation (coloring them white) while pygments appropriately assigns the .o css class (bright red)...
In any case, all 4 of the languages I tested turned out pretty well. I wasn't going for perfection (luckily), just something that somewhat resembles my typical dev environment. You can see screenshots below that illustrate the shortcoming described above. If your particular flavor of programming isn't well supported - you might try bdryanovski's original monokai patch.
##Tests
##Apply the Patch
Go to your home directory:
$ cd $HOME
Clone into the repo
$ git clone git://github.com/sanukcode/Monokai-Sublime-Text-Octopress.git
Go to wherever you installed octopress (note - the patch works on unmodified, fresh installations. No promises if you have tweaked any of the files we are patching...)
$ cd /path/to/octopress/
Patch the appropriate files:
$ patch -u sass/base/_solarized.scss $HOME/Monokai-Sublime-Text-Octopress/_solarized.scss.patch
$ patch -u sass/custom/_colors.scss $HOME/Monokai-Sublime-Text-Octopress/_colors.scss.patch
$ patch --ignore-whitespace -u sass/partials/_syntax.scss $HOME/Monokai-Sublime-Text-Octopress/_syntax.scss.patch
If you re-generate your site, you should be able to see the new highlighting in action!
