Vim

On Unix-based systems copy the syntax file marc.vim to ~/.vim/syntax/marc.vim and add the following line to your ~/.vrimrc:

au BufRead,BufNewFile *.{marc,mrc,mrk,pica,pp,plain} set filetype=marc

The actual layout depends on your vim color scheme.

Example

Usage

After installation, syntax highlighting should be enabled by default for files with extension .marc, .mrc, .mrk, pica, and .pp. To explicitly enable highlighting for the current file, try:

:set syntax=marc

Vim can also be used to highlight a file from command line with vimcat or vimpager.
