[Trac] Enscript + Matlab

[Jonathan Manning]

Hi,

Trac does map common extensions to mime-types for you. The trouble is,
'.m' files can also be Objective C files, so in trac, it's mapped to the
wrong filter (hence the "random" colorization).

You could simply edit trac's manual extension to mime-type map so that
'.m' files were always considered Matlab files.
See http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/file/trunk/trac/Mimeview.py
It's pretty easy to make tweaks here even if you don't know python.

Really, the better solution is to tell subversion explicitly that your
.m files are matlab files (see autoprops - but you did say you could
setup the client). Overriding it for trac works too, you'll just have to
keep it as a local change, because it's not likely to be integrated into
Trac - for fear of alienating all those ObjC developers. ;-)

It might be nice to have a way to do this in the project config. Now
that's a change that could easily make it into Trac...
