How do you add syntax highlighting for Less in Notepad++? - css

I want Notepad++ to treat my .less files just as my .css files and thereby get syntax highlighting for any .less files I open.

To get LESS syntax highlighting, you have to download and import a user defined language file. Here are some links to language files:
LESS language file, as listed in the Notepad++ User Defined Language List
LESS language file on GitHub
Installation instructions from the GitHub repository:
Download the less.xml file
Open Notepad++
Go to Language -> Define your language..., click on Import... and select the less.xml file you've downloaded
Close and restart Notepad++
Done
Another way to install language files is to copy them into a file in the Notepad++ installation directory.

Download from this page the XML file of the language to add (such as Less)
In Notepad++ open Language menu > Define your language... and Import the file

RStudio: Running .Rprofile in source file location

I have set up a workflow governed by a Makefile.
Under code/ I have multiple *.r scripts each typically responsible for creating one output file (typically an RData file but could also be csv exports or png images, any file in principle)
code/.Rprofile contains some helper functions to bootstrap the whole project directory system and sources some helper functions etc.
The scripts in code/ need this functionality to work properly.
RStudio has the convenient menu entry to set working directory to source file location.
But could I also make it run .Rprofile in that directory if found? Or really just start R a fresh from the directory of the source file?

How to convert .xls or .xlxs file to csv file without any plugins or tools using Unix command

I have to convert .xls or .xlxs file to .csv file without using plugins or tools using Unix Command
Is their any way to do this ?
I Tried to do like this below ...But not working
Change the characterSet code from .xls file to UTF-8 encoding
Then create file again with extension change
cp temp.xls temp.csv
It is possible, but you need to realise that an *.xls file is a zipped directory structure (just unzip such a file, using Winzip or 7-zip). The unzipping can also be done using UNIX commands.
But what then? The directory structure is quite complicated to understand, and in order to create a script or a program which can do this (without using any external tools) is a tremendous work, so I'd propose you, either to use external tools anyway, or to make sure the files you receive already are CSV format.

linter-jshint lint JavaScript inside markdown file in Atom editor

The package I am using is linter-jshint, even after I add the .jshintignore file both in the project directory and home directory. It still lints the JavaScripe code inside the .md file.
How to make it only lint the file with .js extension.
That is actually a bug in the core language-gfm package. The base linter determines which providers to invoke using the scopes that grammars provide us, the language-gfm grammar provides incorrect scopes which results in linter-jshint being triggered in markdown files, it provides us source.js, instead of source.embedded.js.
You can find more info about this bug in atom/language-gfm#121.
As a workaround you can disable language-gfm package and install the language-markdown package.

Does Netbeans generate a separate CSS file when saving a SASS file?

I am using Netbeans 8.0 to edit my HTML, PHP, and CSS. Just today I have installed SASS and enabled it within Netbeans. I am developing on Ubuntu, and Ruby and Sass are both available in the repositories, so I installed them and Netbeans found the SASS executable with the click of a button. So, I assume it's all working.
I have created a file called style.scss, and put in some test colour variables and a dummy #test id.
My understanding was that when I saved the .scss file that it would get processed and a .css file with the same name, in this case style.css, would get created. Or updated if it already existed.
Is this not the case? I did see other SASS and .css file generation questions here on Stack Overflow, but I didn't see one specific to Netbeans, so I'm not sure if there's something I haven't set up correctly in my environment. Also, I don't need to upload to a server when saving, I am just testing and developing locally.
How do I actually generate a .css file from my .scss in Netbeans 8.0?
Right click on the project -> Properties -> CSS Preprocessors
You have to set an input folder, for example /scss, and an output folder like /css
And there is a checkbox "Compile Sass files on save".
For Compiler options " --style compact " can be useful.
This was working for me in NB7.4, but in 8, something happened...
The plugin page says, it's currently incompatible with 8.
http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/34929
UPDATE: My scss folder was wrong... So it's working in NB8.
Look # the project settings, and separate your .scss and .css files in two folder, the default folders are /scss and it converts files to /css folder

Command Line to Open .py with IPython

I would like to use the great IPython Web Interface to open, evaluate, edit and save the following "myfile.py" (see below) avoiding the annoying process: Create an .ipynb > import myfile.py to it > make some evaluation or edition > export to .py > remove unnecessary code lines and finaly get again the following content (myfile.py):
import os
# <codecell>
# Number division
print(4/5)
# Number Plus
print(1+40)
Is there a command line to do so?
Notes:
I want work ONLY with .py files, any solution with store/work with .ipynb (JSON files) not be welcome.
Suggestions for other programs will be very welcome.
On stable version, use the --script flag, it always save .py file wihthout having to go through the export process. Still it also save the .ipynb file along side.
On dev version there are now pre-save hook that allows you to do whatever you want for saving .
To automatically load .py files, you will have to write your own Notebook File Loader backend that accept .py files.
