Syntax highlighting of MARC and related record formats

This repository contains syntax highlighting rules of Machine-Readable Cataloging (MARC) and related record formats, such as PICA+.

Give me highlighting!

Syntax highlighting has been implemented for these highlighting systems so far:

• vim editor
• CodeMirror (HTML)
• Prism (HTML, only PICA+ supported by now)

Contributions are welcome!

Lipstick?

The name of this repository was inspired by writings of Roy Tennant who also coined the classic slogan “MARC Must Die” (2002). In 2005 he wrote about library catalog redesign:

You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still very much a pig.
